unable to add a class to my coding

I've noticed while using my workspace that when I add a class or something of that nature it will turn the lettering to a blue and red so I can better keep track of where those links are at.

For some reason, while trying to add the "contact-info" class it's not turning colors. Like if it were to not read it as a class, but just extra coding.

What are some ways I can trouble shoot this to make sure it's adding the class?

As far as i can see there is no breaks in the code and everything else match's up to the example given to me.

You have to put the class inside the bracket of the tag

<ul class="contact-info">

Attributes are always inside the first tag.
