What makes you think it's not being used? Be specific. Include examples if possible.
In general, if the rule is in the list of hits, its score will be used by spamassassin. Nothing short of catastrophic failure of basic mathematics or a VERY severe bug in your perl interpreter or spamassassin's scoring engine can cause what you seem to be describing, thus I'm fairly sure I've got the wrong understanding of the problem. (it sounds like you've got a X-MailScanner-SpamCheck header where BAYES_99 shows up, but the total score comes up 1.89 points short.)
