As everyone has said the speech check is pass/fail. One clue is that if you can't make it, the item shows red.
I haven't been able to verify whether some of your stats like Intelligence/Charisma/Luck have a bearing on how high the bar is placed. i.e. if you have high Luck and Charisma the skill required is 40, but if they are low the number is 50.
