Is there any "trick" to convert epub (or any other type) to mobi, so Kindle/Kindle app would sync reading progress?

I use Calibre to convert any files to mobi (mostly with basic/default settings). Then send them to my Amazon account, so I can read on my devices, Kindle Paperwhite, Android phone and a Chromebook. So far it's good... but some books don't want to sync at all.

My last book wasn't syncing at all. It was converted with Calibre. Then I used one of the online site to convert the original epub file to mobi. To my surprise, it worked, now this book syncs perfectly between devices.

The problem with these online sites, that there no (or very very basic) editing options. I always thought Calibre must be much better/advanced. Is there something I might miss with Calibre? Some tricky settings when converting books?
