One row in my table column won't resize?

I have a table in my Word document. When I highlight one of the columns toward the end and specify that I want to change the width from .68 to .60 all of the rows in this column resize but one. When I click back down through the other rows I just resized I see under Table Tools > Layout that they are now .60. However, when I click on the row that wouldn't resize it doesn't give any size at all for width. I turned on the function that shows paragraph/formatting but nothing appears to be in the cell. At one point I autofit'd the table to the window so I could stretch from margin to margin, but I have since turned that off (I'm not even sure if that was the problem). Here is a link to show the example:

Would someone mind lending some help? Thanks!

Don't select anything. Instead, just hold the Alt key and drag the cell border so that it aligns with the rest of the column. Repeat for the cell in the right-most column.
