UpdateProgress doesnt show in asp.net web form

Question

My Contact us form doesn't show UpdateProgress when i click the save button.

Below is the part code of the contact form. Code snipped is part of Contact.aspx page which uses master page. Similar code works on other pages which doesn't use master page. I am not sure where i am doing wrong i tried changed the position of UpdateProgress inside the update panel which didnt do anything.

Page works fine except showing the update progress.

I have also put delay of 3 section on code behind file also
