My iphone contacts are not updating to Icloud, I can create a contact in Icloud and it will update to my phone but I cannot create a contact on my phone to have it update in the cloud, I am using Itunes as the bridge

My iphone contacts are not updating to Icloud or Outlook, I can create a contact in Icloud/Outlook and it will update to my Iphone but I cannot create a contact on my Iphone to have it update in the Cloud/Outlook, I am using Itunes as the bridge. I originally installed the Icloud manager to sync my contacts to Cloud/Outlook, but I did not like the functionality, when I uninstalled the Cloud manager and and installed Itunes I noticed that the none of my contacts in the phone updated to Outlook.

Thanks in advance.
