I learned that when they write “did not immediately respond to our request” in the newspaper it means that the journalist called and no one picked up, then went to print.
When they write “did not respond to our request” it means they called or emailed and waited a few hours, possibly the next day.
Not really the same as what happened here, but thought it would be interesting to mention it here.

So the act of calling becomes 'the request'. Reminds me of 'but i replied to your email'. Yeah, but you didn't answer the questions in the email.
