How to set the follow up flag in Outlook 2007

Sometimes I click on the 'follow up' flag icon for an email in the inbox, and nothing happens. Or there's a message to say the flag was set but it doesn't change colour and doesn't appear in the to do list.

Workaround: Click on the follow up flag for a different email, then clear it, then click back on the first one.
