Late model Boeings - why no winglets?

Saw a B777 on approach the other day and wondered why the much heralded innovation of winglets wasn't carried on beyond the B744 and the late model B737/BBJ series. Is there such a thing as a wing that doesn't benefit from these additions?
When you study the theory behind them, they do make a lot of sense.

Any ideas?
