I'm *not* an emacs expert.  Here's what often works for me:

The mode for emacs to do syntax coloring is called "global-font-lock-mode".  I 
have *no* idea why.  I find that sometimes, in certain situations, it won't 
be on.  So try to enable it with M-x global-font-lock-mode.

I'm sure that there's some way to get this to be always on for your particular 
problem documents, but I don't know the configuration.  But at least now you 
have a start.
