The situation is resolved in case anyone is wondering. Here is what it turned out to be:

The red LEDs have a forward voltage of 3V, each battery is 1.5V. Therefore he needed two batteries to light the red LED.

But the IR LEDs have a forward voltage of 1.2V, so one battery is sufficient to light them.
