As of now, Regina and Robin Hood have only been proven to be soulmates. While, the true love's kiss between Rumplestitskin and Belle did not work.... he chose power over her.

However, Emma's romance with Hook, is being told in "real-time".... with no flashbacks. It would be unrealistic to move the story too quickly. Emma was still trying to run away from Storybrooke, and deny her feelings, when she saved Hook from drowning. She spent the entire Oz arc, denying who she was. That is why the mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, did not result in a true love's kiss.
