Let $G$ be a finite group. We denote by $\psi(G)$ the integer $\sum_{g\in G}o(g)$, where $o(g)$ denotes the order of $g \in G$. Here we show that $\psi(A_5)< \psi(G)$ for every non-simple group $G$ of order $60$, where $A_5$ is the alternating group of degree $5$. Also we prove that $\psi(PSL(2,7))<\psi(G)$ for all non-simple groups $G$ of order $168$. These two results confirm the conjecture posed in [J. Algebra Appl., {\bf 10} No. 2 (2011) 187-190] for simple groups $A_5$ and $PSL(2,7)$.
