This is a common result of imprecise matching, such as with whitespace problems.

For example, if you imagine that the grey shading used in codeblocks on StackExchange represents the whitespaces in your Excel cells, then AK is technically the same as 

AK

You can trim and/or use wildcard chars to allow matching to skip spaces. For example:

=VLOOKUP(CONCATENATE("*",TRIM(A2),"*"), $E$2:$F$5, 2,FALSE)
