It does seem that the website is vulnerable to a special kind of sql injection called blind SQL Injection.
Especially
This attack is often used when the web application is configured to show generic error messages, but has not mitigated the code that is vulnerable to SQL injection.
and
When the database does not output data to the web page, an attacker is forced to steal data by asking the database a series of true or false questions. This makes exploiting the SQL Injection vulnerability more difficult, but not impossible.
are probably relevant and enlightening.
Or as a more experienced person than me would put this:
In other words, a lack of a response or a lag in a response can be a response itself. There are tools to make use of this and translate true/false answers into meaningful responses over the course of many requests.
On the other hand, a lag might still just be a lag; this is not guaranteed to be an injection.
