My iMessage contacts only show up as the phone number, not the name I have them saved under in my contacts. Help!

My iMessages don't show up as my contacts, rather they just show up as the phone number I have them saved under in my contacts. Has anyone else had this problem, and does anyone know how to fix it? Thanks!!

iPhone 4, iOS 5
