Hotmail contacts unable to sync with lumia 720

[mg8080]

My hotmail contacts are not showing on my lumia 720. Any changes/ additions in contacts I make on my phone gets updated on my hotmail account. Hotmail account is syncing with my outlook properly. Calendar is syncing well in the outlook, hotmail and phone in all directions. Just the contacts from Hotmail are not coming on the phone. I have resetted the phone twice. Can someone help on this topic.."...thanks
