When I put my gamecube game into my wii, it spins for a few seconds and then stops?

I got a few GameCube games from my friend who's had them and hasn't taken the "best" care of them. I have one in particular (Sonic Adventure Battle 2), that does this. I can put the game in, load up the console, click on the game channel, click start, and then the game will spin in the console for a few seconds and then stop. What puzzles me is that neither the "An Error Has Occurred" screen, nor the "The Game Disk Could Not Be Read" screen pop up. The screen remains black until you reset the system. Someone please help with solutions to fixing the Wii and/or the game. Thanks.
