Are you using the correct wire size for the particular color crimp you're using? Has the tool been damaged by attempting to crimp a wire size too large? You may be able to check this (depends on the tool design) by checking that the flat tool faces, adjacent to the actual crimp anvils, are coming completely together at the end of the tool travel.
If the tool is not damaged, the wire size is correct, and the crimp loaded correctly you should get 100% success rate, so it sounds like there is something wrong with your process.
