Are both plants in the same location ? It could be one is not polinateing due to being out of the wind or something. If the plant is growing in a cage or is staked try to shake the plant to see if that helps. Harold

It could be genetic diversity or it could be some kind of microclimate. If the containers can be moved switch their positions.

Thanks for the response. both the plants are side by side. I will try switching the locations.
