Why owner/review cannot receive any email notification from approval workflow?

Summary: I am trying to setup email notification for the approval workflow. After I have initiated the approval process, user A (owner) cannot receive any email notification. But after I change the owner to user B, this user can receive email notification regarding the approval workflow from Oracle. Both user accounts have their email input in the notification session of user preferences. What would be the possible reasons for it?
