Some reasons I see things like this happening to females who are completely capable of mentoring in technical roles:
1) Someone believes that they are not as qualified to do/mentor X as someone else - this could be the lady in question or someone else on the team
2) They don't have the energy/don't care enough to "prove" that they can mentor X
3) The team needs mentors in the non-technical roles that the person either is pushed into or settles into (see 1 and 2)
and possibly relevant to your specific problem:
