Default IP block in .htaccess not working?

I sometimes find spammy entries in my error logs - that read something like "GET http://2.2.2.2/cgi-bin/p.35.pl HTTP/1.0" So far I've usually been able to block them in my .htaccess file with this type of entry:

order allow,deny
deny from 58.215.87.10
allow from all

It has worked well, with one exception - the IP above still appears regularly in my logs with one request every few days. Why can't I block this one, and should I worry about it?
