tensorflow deep neural network for regression always predict same results in one batch

I use a tensorflow to implement a simple multi-layer perceptron for regression. The code is modified from standard mnist classifier, that I only changed the output cost to MSE (use tf.reduce_mean(tf.square(pred-y))), and some input, output size settings. However, if I train the network using regression, after several epochs, the output batch are totally the same. for example:

target: 48.129, estimated: 42.634
target: 46.590, estimated: 42.634
target: 34.209, estimated: 42.634
target: 69.677, estimated: 42.634
......

I have tried different batch size, different initialization, input normalization using sklearn.preprocessing.scale (my inputs range are quite different). However, none of them worked. I have also tried one of sklearn example from Tensorflow (Deep Neural Network Regression with Boston Data). But I got another error in line 40:

‘module’ object has no attribute ‘infer_real_valued_columns_from_input’

Anyone has clues on where the problem is? Thank you
