You can run your playbook in verbose mode by adding -vvvv in the end. Ansible uses host file from /etc/ansible/hosts add the below

You can check what inventory file is being used by your ansible by below

ansible --version
ansible 2.0.0.2
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = Default w/o overrides

Then check your host file if it contains the exact group for host

 vim /etc/ansible/hosts
 [webserver1]
 IP of machine

check by running the below command

ansible -m ping 10.0.3.145 (IP Of machine)
10.0.3.145 | SUCCESS => {
"changed": false, 
"ping": "pong"

}

This should fix the issue.
