Perhaps it took until after 10PM.  In that case anacron would not
run weekly until after 3AM Monday.  From /etc/anacrontab:

  # the jobs will be started during the following hours only
  # START_HOURS_RANGE=3-22

Regardless, as has been said before, if you want a job run at
specific times, anacron is not the correct tool.  Use cron.
