Sometimes a sync will get stuck. I've had it happen several times. Usually turning the sync off and back on fixes it. I'm guessing if you turn it back on it'll work fine. My Gmail sync got stuck earlier this week as a matter of fact.
 
Not saying I have the answer, but I had something similar happen to me with People Details and their photos, etc not showing up in Contacts or Messaging.

It was a known issue to Google:
Google Groups

I did the following about a month ago and it fixed it for 24-hours. Then I did it again a week ago and things were fine.

Settings > Accounts > Sync > Remove Account Then sign in with your account again.

You will have most of your Google stuff reload pretty fast after you sign back in. But you will have to sign in to a few things like Google+ also.
