CSS background-image not working

I don't know what is going on but it seems that the background image showing correctly on my page.

index.html:

<section>
        <h3>Contact Details</h3>
        <ul class="contact-info">
        <li class="phone"><a href="tel:555-555-555">555-555-555</a></li>
        <li class="mail"><a href="mailto:s@example.com">s@example.com</a></li>
        <li class="twitter"><a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?screen_name=@someuser">@someuser</a></li>
        </ul>
      </section>```

CSS

```.contact-info {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 0.9em;
}

.contact-info a {
  display: block;
  min-height: 20px;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
  background-size; 20px 20px;
  padding: 0 0 0 30px;
  margin: 0 0 10px;
}

.contact-info li.phone a {
  background-image: url('../img/phone.png');
}

.contact-info li.mail a {
  background-image: url('../img/mail.png');
}

.contact-info li.twitter a {

Answer: Change this background-size; 20px 20px; to this background-size: 20px 20px;

See codePen here: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/XdGejN

Also, when you paste code here you only need to include ```html at the top and 3 back ticks (without the language) at the bottom

EDIT: I see you've edited it already :-)
