I used this in the past sometimes it work sometimes it doesnt @media only screen (min-width : 320px) and (max-width : 736px) {
What i'm trying to do is do a range from of 320px to 736px which helped me in the past where it worked to the point where all smart phones it worked for why does this work some times

If you're using a max-width: 736px in a media query, you're restricting or limiting your viewport to the maximum width of 736px, even if the viewport (screen size) is larger than that. Since screen sizes are so varied, you want your web site to be seen on mobile phones, tablets, & desktops, too. You'll need to keep this concept in mind as you design your web site.

If the "sometimes" means "on certain browsers" that could be the reason. Or is it possible that sometimes the viewport size falls outside this range?

It depends on the outcome you are after?
The best approach is to build with 'mobile first'. So start with a layout designed for mobiles and use the @media features to change the layout at specified breakpoints and build up from there. In my opinion it makes things clearer and easier to track changes.
hope this helps?
