First - make sure you're burner is capable of burning CD Text. Next - verify that it is getting written to the master disc with software such as EAC or Plextools Pro. Finally - CD Text displays only in CD Text compatible CD players - NOT in a computers media player software!!

Could someone please explain what needs to be done so they can see the Text?
If the client is indeed wanting to have the text display in their computer's media player they need to submit the info to the Gracenote CDDB - info on how to do this with iTunes software is at How to Submit Missing CD Information via iTunes | eHow.com

There are also a few other databases that other apps besides iTunes use. These include Musicbrainz - Welcome to MusicBrainz! - MusicBrainz and freedb - freedb.org > Home

From what I understand Windows Media Player doesn't have CD-Text?
Windows Media Player uses AMG Lasso for it's online database. Info on how to submit a release to the All Media Guide for this is at allmusic
