Sounds like your tone frequencies do not match. Perhaps the Motorola is not really on 67 Hz.

I would be more suspicious of the Baofeng being off frequency. I have heard reports that Baofengs will not work with the DTMF decoders on some repeaters due to transmitting off-frequency DTMF tones. It would not surprise me if the CTCSS/PL tone was also off. Motorolas tend to have very good CTCSS decoders (meaning they'll reject off-frequency tones), so you're likely to see a problem like this surface more when using a Motorola than a Baofeng receiver.

I have never had this problem with any I have seen. And I have seen dozens.
