The mail() function only delivers the message to the server, returning whether or not the message was successfully delivered to the server. It does not guarantee whether or not the message will be sent and received by the intended recipient. Check the logs on the server and see if you have any errors or problems regarding mail().

If you were to post your code that you are using to send via PHP, we could ensure that is all correct prior to looking into issues with your server.

Most likely you are sending email on a residential ISP service. Most ISP's assign residential service & commercial service customers separate subnet ip addresses, so that other ISP's can easily flag or even ignore email from non-commercial service.

So my guess is that whom ever you were seeing spam added your ip (or domain name) to their black list & are just dropping the network traffic completely. & as macosxnerd101 pointed out, the mail() function doesn't check for success or failure of the email, only the success or failure of sending the email to the mail server.
