Anand, It could be needle depth. Where it sews on the other colors and not this one I wouldn't say its the presser foot height. Maybe its the spool of thread. I would tie the cone of thread on a different needle number and see if you still have breaks. If you do I would narrow it to the thread or that part of the design.
