Question about solenoid/regulator

So I finally got a pressurized CO2 setup for my 55 gallon planted tank, and I set it all up yesterday and it was running fine all day. I have a solenoid hooked up to my regulator and set on the same timer as my lights are so that it shuts off when they do. Everything shut off last night with no problems, but then this afternoon while I was at work, my girlfriend texted me to tell me that she did not see any bubbles going through my bubble counter even though the lights and everything had came on for the day. I came home and sure enough, no CO2 was going through my bubble counter or into my tank. I cycled the power on the solenoid and it started working again fine after that.

My question is what would have caused it to not open back up properly the first time this morning when my lights came on?
