Once rules are run on a message, you cannot run rules on message again.
However you can drag the message to the desktop and then back into a local
folder.  This will cause you to have a duplicate message but this new
message will not have had rules run on it.

Some common reasons rules fail:

A prior rule is acting on the message and no additional rules are able to
act on that message. You can drag rules to a higher position, but MLM and
JMF will always run before rules if either one is enabled.

Actions which Move messages or run AppleScripts cannot be followed by other
rules. 

If mail category is getting reset, check rules above. The "default" action
for every new rule is "Set category to None". If you don't switch that popup
but just add other actions, it's going to turn "category" status off.

Check your Criteria. You might want to select "if any criteria are met"
