Sometimes Surprisingly Poor Results from Tweets

Based on my own Tweeting I have discovered we usually get from 5 to 15 visits going to the link in my Tweets, within 15-minutes of the Tweet time, based on having just a little over 1,000 followers.
However, sometimes after 15-min of third-party Tweets (who link to my site) from websites who have far more followers (ranging from about 5,000 all the way to 35,000), there are only 5 or 6 real visitors to the linked site.
That compares extremely poorly vs my own Tweets which typically have approximately double the visits to the link, but coming from far fewer followers.
This makes little sense to me. Anyone have some thoughts on how that scenario is possible?
