Uneven results with bottle conditioning for Batch #1

Gone through a few bottles of the first batch.  First two were shared with family, and were pretty good. The third, however, had completely failed to bottle condition. The flavor was pretty much what it should have been, but there was no carbonation whatsoever.  The cap *seemed* tight enough, but maybe it was one of the last ones sealed, when my hand was blistering and cramping from all the stupid plastic screw-on caps. Not sure. I was worried, but have had one or two since then that seemed ok.

In those, the carbonation bubbles were definitely getting smaller, but I didn't notice any major changes in flavor, or even slight changes for that matter!  Still, not bad to drink, and I'm definitely thinking about the next batch!
