Rashi notes the difference between Moshe who is addressed with ויקרא and Bilim who is addressed with ויקר. The word is the same with an additional א. This א hints to the difference between Moshe and Bilam. Both of them received messages from Hashem, both had great capabilities, but Bilam viewed events in his life as ויקר, a מקרה, it happened - but it didn't make an impression upon him. Moshe connected everything to the א - the אלופו של עולם - to Hashem. The exact same event Bilam would view as an accident, while Moshe would take it as a lesson from Hashem. Everyone gets messages -the question if one hears Who the sender is.
