White block instead of text using SKLabelNode

Today I notice a very strange thing, instead of the label that I want to display 0 I get a white block, even though fontColor is set to black

// In MPSingleton
let gameFontRegular = UIFont(name: "HelveticaNeue", size: 1.5)

func addText(withText: String, textcolor: UIColor) -> SKLabelNode {

    let label = SKLabelNode(fontNamed: MPSingleton.shared.gameFontRegular?.fontName);
    label.text = withText;
    label.fontColor = textcolor
    label.fontSize = self.btnSize/4

    label.horizontalAlignmentMode = SKLabelHorizontalAlignmentMode.Center;
    label.verticalAlignmentMode = SKLabelVerticalAlignmentMode.Center;
    label.zPosition = 122;

    return label

}

But this doesn't happen that often, and I don't know why?

// update 1

var scoreInt: SKLabelNode!

scoreInt = addText("\(score)", textcolor: MPSingleton.shared.bgColor)
self.gameOverNode.addChild(scoreInt)

// update 2 Instead of Best Score : 30, there is a white blank space, the color of the text is #666666 and with fontSize = 20.7142857142857

where did you call addChild for your label? – Shoaib Sep 06 '15 at 08:10
I add the node to which I assign the returned node – grape1 Sep 06 '15 at 08:12
please show the code where you call addChild. – Shoaib Sep 06 '15 at 08:15
I updated the question :) – grape1 Sep 06 '15 at 08:18
If I launch the game 100 times this will happen one or two times. And only break with numbers below 10 – grape1 Sep 06 '15 at 08:22
Is there any chance that `MPSingleton` isn't initialised properly before calling your methods? – Guy Kogus Sep 06 '15 at 09:12
@grape1 Can you upload an image which shows an issue ? Try to println everything (label.text, label.fontSize, label.FontColor as well as MPSingleton.shared.gameFontRegular?.fontName) and see when that happens what are differences. – Whirlwind Sep 06 '15 at 14:49
font name = HelveticaNeue, text = Best Score : 30, color = UIDeviceRGBColorSpace 0.4 0.4 0.4 1. The labels that don't break have the same data, expect the text – grape1 Sep 08 '15 at 09:42
And also I added a screenshot – grape1 Sep 08 '15 at 09:48
