Default Vlookup not returning correct value

Do an exact match on unsorted data

=VLOOKUP(A3,Sheet1!$A$2:$B$155,2,FALSE)

Have a simple VLookup set up to retun a time value for a concantenated
statement since the statement will not display the time in a readable
format.
Everything works fine except some of the times reflect the earlier time
even
though there is an exact match. Set it up for True and it comes back with
#N/A even though there is an exact match. What am I missing?
Example:
Look up value Desired return value VLookup formula
