Because in the style sheet you have

span{margin-left:30px;font-size:13px;color:#888;display:none}

Hence, it's not displaying anything at all. If you have control of the
stylesheet (and I hope you do) you don't need to use inline styles. 

This will work:
<p>this is text that i want to turn <span
style="color:red;display:inline">red</span>....</p> 

As will removing the display:none from the default span rule but that
may have repercussions through other parts of the site.

But I would do 
<p>this is text that i want to turn <span
class="highlight">red</span>....</p> or use some other name that better
describes what the text you are turning red actually is (don't use red
since that's just the color you are changing it to, not it's purpose).
Then create the rule for .highlight in your stylesheet.
