ADC wont work without delay or setting GIE bit inside ISR

//******************************************************************************
//   MSP430F552x Demo - ADC12, Sample A0, Set P1.0 if A0 > 0.5*AVcc
//
//   Description: A single sample is made on A0 with reference to AVcc.
//   Software sets ADC12SC to start sample and conversion - ADC12SC
//   automatically cleared at EOC. ADC12 internal oscillator times sample (16x)
//   and conversion. In Mainloop MSP430 waits in LPM0 to save power until ADC12
//   conversion complete, ADC12_ISR will force exit from LPM0 in Mainloop on
//   reti. If A0 > 0.5*AVcc, P1.0 set, else reset.
