Any display app or conversion app needs data in the source file to indicate where the images are to be placed. It isn't magic!

Open your HTML in a standard browser. If the images display properly then calibre should be able to import everything properly and convert to MOBI successfully, images and all. If the images fail to show in a browser then the HTML needs to be fixed before importing into calibre.
