What temperature do you bottle condition, and for how long? Mine carb up in about a week if I put them in the closet where its high 70s, low 80s during the summer. I once bottle conditioned a batch in the fermenter at about 68 and it took several weeks.
I leave mine in the well house it generally stays 70 to 75 degrees and I don't touch them for at 2 weeks
 
How long do you typically cold crash for? I made a belgian that I CC'd for close to a week and I used about 6 oz corn sugar dissolved in boiled water. Even after a few months there's hardly any carbonation or head. I think I managed to get rid of most of the yeast...although I did slightly underpitch due to way over shooting target OG.
The other thing you could try is looking into the malt analyst sheets to make sure the wheat malt your using has a high enough protein content.
