Fire effects are invisible sometimes, and you can only see the smoke effects

What I expected to happen was...:
That the fire would be visible along with the smoke particle effects

What actually happened was...:
You can only see the smoke, things burn as they normally would though.

Steps to Reproduce:
There aren't any that I know of, when I first created a creative map and tested lava, the trees showed the burning effects and smoke togethor, but then I exited and tried again on a different map with a friend on an android tablet and the fire could not be seen. Fire also does not appear on zombies and such in the sun (perhaps this isn't a bug though). Try playing online with a friend, I just now created a creative map by myself and it appeared to work...
