probably because span does not have a width.
http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_span.asp
you need to use an element that uses width like div
try this:
<html>
<head>
<title>
test
</title>
</head>
<body>
<span style="color:#555555; background:cccccc; width:50px;">line 1</span><br>
<span style="color:#777777; background:cccccc; width:150px;">line 1</span>
<table>
<div style="color:#555555; background:cccccc; width:50px;">line 1</div>
<div style="color:#777777; background:cccccc; width:150px;">line 1</div>
</body>
</html>
