Can't get <apex:pagemessages /> to render a message.

I'm struggling with being able to show a basic success message to the user using the standard <apex:pagemessages /> component.  I've got it on the page, but it never shows a message.  Here's the page:

 

<apex:pageblock >
<apex:pageblockSection >
<h1>Page Messages:</h1>
<apex:pageMessages />
</apex:pageblockSection>
 Nothing unusual there, right?
 
Here's the controller method that generates the message.  Basically I've got a list with checkboxes, and the user selects some, clicks a button, and then records are inserted based on the selections.  When that happens, I'd like to let the user know the insert was successful.
 
 
        if (billTos.size() > 0) { 
        	try{
        		insert billTos; 
        		// set the message for the user		
        		ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.INFO,'Bill-To Sites successfully created'));
        	} catch (DMLException e){
        		// show the messages to the user
        		ApexPages.addMessages(e);
        	}
        } else {
        	// set the message for the user
    		ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.INFO,'No Sites Selected'));
        }
 
My records are being successfully inserted, so it should be hitting the success message.  But it's all silent on the page -- nary a peep.  What the heck am I doing wrong?  This seems simple!!
