Why does speak selection skip the first digit in numbers?

I've created a web page with the HTML that is included at the bottom of this post. I then loaded this in Safari on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.1 that has Speak Selection turned on. When I select all the text and tap on "Speak", the "1" in "12345-1" of "Field 1" gets skipped. It just reads "two thousand three hundred forty-five dash one". The odd thing is, for "Field 2", it actually reads "fifty-four thousand three hundred twenty one dash two". Can anyone help me figure out why it's not reading the Field 1 correctly?


I've also tried this with an iPhone 5s running iOS 7.1 with the same results.

Thanks.
