Every seed has to be pollinated. If the majority don't. then you can get fruits with varied growth pattern. The part with pollinated seeds grows but the rest does not. Total lack of pollination results in fruits aborted early before growth takes place. You usually get some but in most cases later setting ones will do fine. Sometimes it just takes time for the insects to find them..
