I had similar issues with my clients. Check C:\WINDOWS\WindowsUpdate.log for
errors. In general it will point you in the direction of what might be wrong.
I would check the event logs for GPO errors as its possible the policies are
taking affect.
I would also check that the machines that are not running updates have the
Automatic Updates service set to auto and that it can start. If you have it
set to auto in your GPO, make sure that you set the permissions on it to
reflect the same as what the OS has.
