float not working

I am using custom css and have added the following:

/* thumbnail styles */
img.wpp-thumbnail {
border:none;
float:left;
}

The float addition is still not having text float around the images. The first line of text is good then the second line starts beneath the image instead of beside it directly under the first line.

Many thanks
