Bot Intent - Not Respond

I am experiencing issues with the bot choosing not to respond to items that it should. I hope below is enough information:)

I am using a knowledge base with a markdown file. As the log shows it seems to find the right response but then it gets lost.

Anyone ideas on why this would be? Log is below and I have also pasted the packages used at the very end.
