Just a guess: the ones that didn't convert were in real Word DOC format, and the ones that did were actually in RTF format, although they had a .doc extension? The one you sent was a real Word DOC file, and Calibre doesn't support that. Just save the offending ones as RTF, and feed those to Calibre.

I've had that happen to me as well.
