Two thoughts that come to my mind:

1.) Messages are displayed in the status bar on the lower left. They are only shown as message boxes when two messages appear in one trigger. Use show_alert instead.

[Quoted] 2.) Sometimes other status messages override your messages (e.g. when you have specified a hint for a menu entry in the property palette).

Hope that helps.
