Apple Music on Echo device

I’ve always been able to just go to my Apple Music icon on my phone and play my lists in whatever order I wish. I click on the Amazon Alexa device and connect it to Bluetooth then hit my playlists on the my phone app and that’s it. Now when I go to my lists nothing plays through my Echo device. It shows on the song as if it is playing through but it isn’t. It’s silent. Everything else looks ok, it is all linked and there are no updates to be had. If I ask Alexa to play my apple playlist it just plays random songs from it in no particular order so I have no control over what is playing and which order it is played. Why has this suddenly happened?

iPhone SE, iOS 16
