Default VLOOKUP - Not returning the proper number (Caro)

I have this function:
=VLOOKUP(S2,'MFD Cost Table'!$B$3:$C$13,2)
The lookup value is either 5655, WC 255 or WCP36.
The formula brings back the price of the lookup value. It does not bring
back the right price for WC 255 or WCP36 even though they are entered
correctly into the table. It does bring back the right price for the 5655.
Am I doing something wrong?

Look in HELP for the meaning of the 4th argument (FALSE)
