It really depends on the specific html code you have there so it is difficult to say what is going on, but here is one possibility:

if the code is:

<div class=".contact-info">
<ul>
    <li>...</li>
</ul>
</div>

then what you have there should work. But if the code is:

<ul class=".contact-info">
<li>...</li>
</ul>

Then your code won't work because the selector ".contact-info ul" is looking for an unordered list that is the child of an element with the class .contact-info. To make it work, you would just used ".contact-info" as a selector. So, this should work:

.contact-info {
    font-size: 0.9em;
}

Of course, this is assuming that the problem is what I suspect it is. Without seeing the code I can't be confident that this is the problem.
