Please verify your environment variables; from the man page for bash:
HISTCONTROL
A colon-separated list of values controlling how commands are
saved on the history list. If the list
of values includes ignorespace, lines which begin with a space
character are not saved in the history
list. A value of ignoredups causes lines matching the
previous history entry to not be saved. A
value of ignoreboth is shorthand for ignorespace and ignoredups.
A value of erasedups causes all
previous lines matching the current line to be removed from
the history list before that line is
saved. Any value not in the above list is ignored. If
HISTCONTROL is unset, or does not include a
valid value, all lines read by the shell parser are saved on
the history list, subject to the value
of HISTIGNORE. The second and subsequent lines of a multi-line
compound command are not tested, and
are added to the history regardless of the value of HISTCONTROL.
