Some virtual machines (such as OpenVZ), mangle the kernel statistics API. There was fix for memory usage reporting in Monit 5.2.4 (for OpenVZ, but works generally), which is more permissive for different /proc/meminfo formats.
I'd recommend monit upgrade - the monit 5.1.1 may have problem with your /proc/meminfo format (the latest version is Monit 5.5).
