There are a few reasons why you may see some contacts excluded from your list:

Troubleshooting
Bounced
Mail was undeliverable to the contacts or the email address doesn't exist.
Only hard bounced contacts will get ignored. If its a soft bounce, the mail should get delivered after some time. If its a hard bounce, please contact us at support@zohomarketingautomation.com requesting the reason.
Blocked
Contacts blocked due to various reasons so that even on signing up via any forms, these contacts don't enter your organization again.
Please contact our support team at support@zohomarketingautomation.com requesting the reason for the block.
Do-Not-Mail

The contact has either unsubscribed on their own, or they've been moved to unsubscribed from your end.

Please ensure you don't use role-based email address as the contact email of your contacts. Read more about that here.
