What is the reason that much of the XRD peaks of a single phase match with theoretical pettern, but one peak does not match in intensity?

In ADXRD all the peaks are matching with theoretical pattern in peak positions. But one peak has intensity lower than the theoretical value. Others are matching as well. What may the reason behind...
