Why can't I get John the Ripper to crack long passwords in single mode?

Dunno what I'm doing wrong here. I can crack passwords in single mode only if they are 5 char or less. If I go over this, john won't be able to crack them in single. Right now I'm trying to crack WHATdoesTHEFOXsay? in md5 with single mode. the .txt file I'm having john target is 'whatdoesthefoxsay:ed230abb817b7495af79509f5e70604a'. It can't crack this though. Is there a rule I need to be using here to make this work?
