Stars that don't fit $L=4\pi R^{2}\sigma T^{4}$?

When calculating luminosity/radius/temperature for several stars, I've noticed that while the majority of stars conform to the luminosity relationship $L=4\pi R^{2}\sigma T^{4}$, there are a few that don't … As far as I can tell it has a luminosity 56 times that of the sun, a radius of 8.5 solar radii and an effective temperature of about 5000 K. When I substitute those numbers in they don't match. …
