why are links I receive in my emails not working in gmail

I use Gmail for my Earthlink email account. If someone sends me a link within the email, it is not highlighted and doesn't work. I have Lollipop 5.1

Hi, does this happen with all links? it could be the format that the sender is sending the email. For example - google.com or https://www.google.co.uk/?gfe_rd=cr&ei=IGuwVouZFIXe8geohIvgBw
