That means two things are true.

CC is able to fetch books from your Dropbox if they are there.
Some books are not synced to Dropbox.

I suspect that your Dropbox is out of space, meaning that not all of your files are being synced. You can check this using the following steps.

Using your favorite web browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, whatever), connect to https://www.dropbox.com/login. Log in to Dropbox
You should now see something like the following.
Click the smiley face in the upper right. You should now see something like this.
Check to be sure that you have space available (XX of YY used) XX should be less than YY, ideally by at least a 2 or 3 megabytes.

You can also check the specific book that failed to download. The steps:

While still connected to Dropbox using the web browser, navigate to your library. I think it is /Books.
Look for the folder "Cerulean Sins". I might have the spelling slightly wrong. If you don't find that folder then the book is not synced to dropbox.
If you do find that folder, navigate into it.
Look for the folder "Hamilton, Laurell K. - Anita Blake 11 (XXXX)" where XXXX is a number that I don't know. Again, I might have the spelling wrong. If that folder is not there then the book has not synced. If it is there then nativate into it.
You should now see the files "cover.jpg", "metadata.opf", and "Hamilton, Laurell K. - Anita Blake 11 - Cerulean Sins.mobi". If any of these files are missing then the book is not completely synced. If the .mobi is missing then the download will fail.
