Why is my css not working?

I am setting the background-size to 20px but it tells me I am not doing it, what's happening?

css/main.css 
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: ‘Changa One’, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
      max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

.contact-info {
                font-size: 0.9em;
                margin: 0;
                padding: 0;
                list-style: none
}

.contact-info a {
  display: block; 
  min-height: 20px;
  background: no-repeat;
  background-size:  20px;
  padding: 0 0 30px 0;
}

In the class, "contact-info", you are missing the semi-colon for the list-style property.

I am going to take a shot in the dark and say that you have not declared a background image in the contact-info class and therefore there is no background size it can set.

Yeah, I think Brandon's got it.

The css property 'background' is shorthand for which you only include the one value 'no-repeat'

The shorthand might need to include other values

background: #colour url() repeat position;

or you might need to use a single image property

background-image: url();
