Why does Spamcop think it's not a routeable address?

Curiously, upon revisiting the report I see:

 

If reported today, reports would be sent to:

Re: 85.206.173.211 (Administrator of network where email originates)

williamsdesigndk@gmail.com

Re: http://terais.cloner.wedn.us/unsubscribe?g=fDEx... (Administrator of network hosting website referenced in spam)

abuse@nodesdirect.com

However, Spamcop did not send send to the nodesdirect.com address originally.
