Notepad ++ syntax highlighting not working when using sqlite3 in python

sqlite3 syntax highlighting isn't working when writing python code in Notepad ++, here is an example code:

import sqlite3
import re
conn = sqlite3.connect('org_db.sqlite')
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute('''
CREATE TABLE Counts (org TEXT, count INTEGER)''')

For example in the code above things like "CREATE TABEL" and "TEXT" are not highlighted!
