It looks like the ones that are failing to import are the ones that use ‘curly quotes’. I guess that your text file was not saved using UTF-8 character encoding, which is what Moodle requires. If you load the file into a good text editor (e.g. Notepad++ on windows) you will be able to control the encoding.

And, arguably, Moodle should detect this, and give a helpful message, rather than importing useless questions. I don't think there is a tracker issue for that yet.
