Default How to use vlookup when lookup contains number and letters

VLOOKUP function is working on both numbers and text.

I'm trying to use vlookup for a table I set up for looking up corresponding
prices based on item numbers. For example one of the item numbers is MGM005,
but when I set up the vlookup formula to reference the corresponding column,
which is price, it doesn't work. The vlookup only works for the item numbers
that are strictly numbers such as 001 or 004. If anyone knows how to resolve
this problem that would be great. Thanks
