What is happening with this traceroute

I am using the level3 looking glass (from chicago) to traceroute to this ip address (I started looking into this as a user complained that it appeared to be taking over 30 hops to reach that address from our network).

97.74.65.192

Here are the results:

 1 ae-31-53.ebr1.Chicago1.Level3.net (4.68.101.94) 4 msec

Apart from ICMP not being allowed on that network, what would cause this trace to exhibit this behavior?
