Having cover issues with mobi.

I have an ePub file which I want to convert to mobi but also change the cover. However no matter what I try, Kindle (device and app) cannot detect the new cover. The calibre viewer displays the cover ok.

I tried the following:

1. Change meta data in Calibre and assigned a cover from file. Convert to mobi.
2. Edit epub in Sigil and deleted existed cover. While this removed the cover, the new one still doesn't show up in the resulting mobi file.
3. Performed a mobi -> mobi conversion.

I have converted many books before from epub to mobi and I never come across this problem before.

What is the problem?
