1st, your commands are ugly, stack them properly.
2nd, your use of the -c parameter with a brute-force attack is extremely ignorant.
3rd, since you haven't provided any mask in the first attack, -plus uses the default masks and that's why your hash wasn't cracked.
4th, in the second attack you added a mask "?1?1?1?1" which fits your password, that's why it's cracked.
