Don't know for sure, but my first guess would be that they are finding a better food source than algae, or at least the algae you want them to eat, in your tank.

Stop feeding bloodworms

Most Amano shrimp really love bloodworms and meaty foods, so if you don't feed those for a while, they should start in on the algae.

starve them some. once they get hungary enough they'll eat.

Hey if I had a choice between blood worms or algae, I'd eat the blood worms too.
