I've recently been playing with this and had same problems, make sure
you have 
NameVirtualHost *

if this is a hostname or IP address and all the VirtualHost directives
are are * you won't get a match.

>From what I found you need to have matching NameVirtualHost IP's (or *)
and <VirtualHost IP's (or *)> directives.

e.g. 
NameVirtualHost *

<VirtualHost *>
....

otherwise a match isn't found and it defaults to the first one in the
list.
