Josh,

  I  find one common cause for people who "lose" their rolls after "having" them is that 
they "forget" to keep their hips loose during the roll.  It is easy to forget, since you 
have to tense your shoulder muscles to begin the roll- often that tensions locks up the 
hips with the back into one rigid unit- and a failed roll.  My guess is that if you can 
concentrate on keeping your hips loose and bringing your head towards your paddle it 
will be back.
