Had photos with the flash worked before with this camera? (Pls do not say you never had tried before this.....)

Hi, friends: First of all I must tell you that I am not a professional photographer but amateur of this type that like to make my own laboratory (only b&w) process. I love Rolleiflex I own two old models, the best one of them -for me- is a T model.
After this introduction you may understand my asking for help: Some days ago the son of one of my friends asked me to take some pictures in his marriage ceremony. O.K. I bought some REALA rolls, I prepared my best equipment, I made some four rolls in the Church and ... no one of the pictures taken with (Woctron) flash (1/30 s, f ~ 5.6-:-8) has been successful. ZERO!!!. Those ones taken in daylight are marvellous.
Questions:
1.- Do you know any reason for this (it seems to me) lack of syncronization?
2.- Of course color pictures are almost impossible to get but, what about b&w?. When I was a young amateur photographer I remember sometimes I used a "reinforcer" (sorry my English has great lacks, as my pictures) for b&w negatives. Would it be possible to made the same with colour negatives in order just to made availaible b&w positives?.
I do thank you beforehand.
