Are all the books causing problems from the same publisher, or ebook store, or do they have anything else in common?
Have you tried converting to AZW3 format, rather than Mobi? You won't be able to email it to your Kindle, but it's a more more capable format for sideloading.

The two books I was having problem with appeared to be Penguins.
Converting to AZW3 and sideloading appears to work, so at least I worked around it. However I keep my Calibre collection on a remote machine, so have to go across a network to sideload to my Kindle, connected to my PC. Also, I won't have a copy in my Amazon locker ...
Weirdest thing is, I have used Calibre since I got my Kindle (2011) no problem, and have converted hundreds of books too. Which meant I took a few months off to read them
When I came back, I went to share these books via email, as usual, but nothing. Then I thought maybe my Kindle wasn't syncing, so I refreshed the WiFi. Then forgot for a while.
It's only now I have a new tablet and Kindle app, I'm looking to organise my eBooks, that I revisited the problem.
e2a: Just tried another book I thought I had sent to my Kindle and never arrrived. Calibre converted it from ePub to MOBI, and happily opens the MOBI file. But it never got to the Kindle. Sideloading the AZW3 file from Calibre works fine.
Could I have unwittingly borked something in the ->MOBI config ?
