BobA:

You can sometimes restore the tip by retinning it.  Keeping a layer of solder on the tip helps keep it clean.  Clean the tip as normal then dip into some non acid flux.  Apply solder to the tip and see if you can get it to cover.  Wipe off excess solder when hot and repeat.  If that does not help you need a new tip.

Sounds like a cold solder joint.

Make sure HEAT is making solder get to the 2 pieces, not the iron tip.
