Why aren't my new contacts saved under contacts?

Hi, when I save somebody's number, it doesn't show it under the contacts (and therefore it also doesn't sync with iCloud). But it does exist, since I can see person's name under favourites and it also works when I type the person's name to call them. What could be wrong? Of course, I've got the latest version of iOS (8.1) and it worked until recently.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Is there a chance that you have GROUPS defined in your contacts, but are not looking at either the correct group or ALL CONTACTS? I’ve done that before - added a contact and then not seen it in the list, for this very reason.
