Contacts not accessible for emails

I have a new Macbook Air. When I compose emails on Gmail and start typing a contact in the "TO" field the contact does not populate. I do not have this problem on my iMac, iPhone or iPad. I have looked at the various articles under Apple support without success. Is there a setting I'm missing? Thanks.
