A value of the background property is 'background-repeat', which  
controls whether the image repeats or not. Also, I would recommend  
setting all of style properties within a the style attribute. Thus,  
your block of code would look like this:

<table style="border: 0">
	<tr>
		<td style="background: url('numbers/background.jpg') center no- 
repeat; width: 755px; height: 50px; text-align: right, vertical-align:  
center">


Also, is there a specific reason that you are using a table for this?  
If there is only one cell in your table, then you are misusing a table.
