A div is a block element, meaning that without doing funky floats or 
other stuff, it will stretch the width of the containing element (and 
not have something sit next to it).

Use <span> for inline formating...

<p class="formText-black">Fill in this form or phone <span 
class="formText-white">0113 123456</span> for more information.</p>
