You prolly already found a ctcp pong will not work, the protocol is different. 
This is my code for handling PING-PONG:

if equal(parsed_data[1],"PING") then
       if equal(parsed_data[2],":" & server_name)
         then msg(server_name,"PONG :"&server_name)
         else msg(parsed_data[2][2..length(parsed_data[2])],"PONG 
:"&server_name)
        end if
        puts(1,"PING :"&server_name&"\nPONG :"&server_name&"\n")
        puts(logfile,"PING :"&server_name&"\nPONG :"&server_name&"\n")
        flush(logfile)
        data = ""
        parsed_data = ""
      end if
