Have the primers been validated before ? If in doubt, you could design a new set of primers (they are relatively cheap) and give it a try.

I Agree with Tabaluga. What is the original tm of your primers? You could always try to decrease your tm. You will keek the 120 bp band, but it could be possible that your expected amplicon will appear. Hope this helps (:
