RegEx match string but not if string comes after

I'm doing a find/replace and but I have already made a few changes the slow way. I want to use regex to replace the rest but make sure I don't replace ones I've already done. So, I need it to match 1 but not 2. The end result will be replacing all instances that look like 1 with 2. The -icon can be anything

1: <span class="glyphicons icon">
2: <span class="glyphicons glyphicons-icon">

More examples:

<span class="glyphicons hand">
<span class="glyphicons flower">
<span class="glyphicons bucket">
<span class="glyphicons glyphicons-stone_head">
<span class="glyphicons glyphicons-decapitated-corpse">

I need to replace the first 3 examples but not the last 2. The application is quite large so I'd really like to be able to do this with one 'replace all'.

Assuming icon can be any word, I'd try replacing glyphicons\s([A-Za-z]+)" by glyphicons glyphicons-$1".
