This happens to me as well. I think it's a bug. Someone texted me with their new phone number. So from messages, I attempted to add to existing contact. There wasn't an option for that so I went through contacts. I updated it, but in messages it wouldn't update from the number to the name. After several attempts, I DELETED the first contact and then created a new one. As soon as I put in the name, the old info popped up. I ended up with two contacts of the same name and had to link.
