Why isn’t my article thumbnail showing on my Twitter share?

We had a client recently wonder why, when they shared articles to Twitter, the article thumbnail didn't always show up with the tweet, even though it was set to. Intermittent problems are always the most fun, aren't they?! So we studied their Twitter feed to look for any patterns in…
