The photo trasistor is a infrared Type(receiver).To maximaze sensitivity you should use an infrared diode instead of a white led.
Take a look in the figures for the white led(pag 6) and the photo transistor(pag3) you will see the peak emmission is at about 460nm for the white led but the peak sensitivity for the photo transistor is at 960nm.
