Contacts on my iPhone do not show up on my mac

Question

I can't seem to sync the contacts on my iPhone 5s to the contacts on my mac. I add more contacts on my iPhone than I do while sitting at my desk (mac). I have lots of contacts that will not show up on my mac - but some do. I don't know why, it seems to be hit or miss. I could add them manually, but I shouldn't have to do this. I am using iCloud, it is turned on all devices. Everything is under one account. Any ideas what might be happening?
