Lack of chromic fill in the anodizing process

I am anodizing a structural membrane ( 8" x 2" ). Occasionally one side of the part does not get Chromic Seal and just shows the color of the Anodized Aluminum. Can you explain the reason why?

It's very hard to tell from this distance, but are you sure that side of the item is anodized? Ted Mooney, finishing.com
