Yup, so far as I know you can't grow runner beans, or other legumes in a grow-bag...

In my opinion the only beans suitable for growbags would be Dwarf French Beans.

Was the manure you used for the ones grown in the ground properly rotted?

Runner beans like a nice, rich, deep root run, preferably in an area that's been trenched and lots of composted manure or good garden compost added, then backfilled with the soil prior to planting. Obviously, growbags are shallow...
