.htaccess RewriteRule for two similar URLs not working as expected

I am having issues writing the .htaccess for Apache to rewrite a couple of URLs.

So, one of the cases is:

URL: http://localhost/openhoney/google/4/Laura%20Neiva
Rule: RewriteRule ^openhoney/google/([0-9])/(.*)$  /openhoney/showgoogletrend.php?t=$2&id=$1 [L]
Final: http://localhost/openhoney/showgoogletrend.php?t=Laura%20Neiva&id=4

The case above works properly, but if I try something similar it doesn't work as expected.

URL: http://localhost/openhoney/twitter/1489/Coutinho
Rule: RewriteRule ^openhoney/twitter/([0-9])/(.*)$  /openhoney/showtwittertrend.php?t=$2&id=$1 [L]
Final: http://localhost/openhoney/showtwittertrend.php?t=Coutinho&id=1489

In this last case the "Final" URL works properly, but when I use the "URL", It doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Because ([0-9]) will just match a single number, you can use ([0-9]+) if you want to match one or more numbers, or ([0-9]{4}) if you want 4 numbers (no more, no less) such like this:

RewriteRule ^openhoney/twitter/([0-9]+)/(.*)$  /openhoney/showtwittertrend.php?t=$2&id=$1 [L]
