Not all BLE Devices found by scanning

Having several BLE Sensors and wanting to display their data on-screen of the watch. Scanning for the BLE Sensor returns all kinds of apple devices, but not the sensor i'm looking for.

Both sensors contain Bluetooth Classic and Bluetooth Low Energy chips. 

One of the older sensors still has a static LE mac address and shows up in the scan. NRF Connect shows this device as "Classic and LE Capable".

The newer sensors do not show up on the scan, and are shown in NRF Connect as "LE Only".

I have attempted to 'spoof' the newer sensor to appear as a device capable of both, but no luck.

If anyone could shed some light on this issue and perhaps a solution that would be great!

    Thanks, I've seen your answer, good to know that you get the same result on your side! What I don't understand then, is that I am able to pair my regular heart rate monitor with my Fenix 5 over BLE... How can it be possible if the Fenix 5 doesn't support BLE ? Or maybe it is a specific BLE issue with this device model ?
