Default Screwy lookup function

Not sure if I am doing something wrong but seem to be getting some
screwy results using the lookup function. Couple examples:

1. With this array:
Alpha 6
Beta 3
Gamma 6
Delta 3

=LOOKUP(3,C7:C10,B7:B10) ----- Beta (gives the first 3 value
in the list)
=LOOKUP(6,C7:C10,B7:B10) ----- Gamma (gives the second 6 value in
the list)

2. With this array:
Alpha 10
Beta 3
Gamma 6
Delta 3

=LOOKUP(10,C7:C10,B7:B10) ---- Delta (why didn't it give
alpha?)

3. With this array
Alpha 2
Beta 3
Gamma 6
Delta 3

=LOOKUP(10,C7:C10,B7:B10) ---- #NA (can't find a 2-value?)

What's going on here??
