Please try the following:
1. Apply the default Gantt Chart view in this project.
2. Click the Task tab to display the Task ribbon.
3. In the View section of the Task ribbon, click the Gantt Chart pick list button and select the Reset to Default item at the bottom of the menu.
4. In the confirmation dialog, click the Yes button.
5. Click the Format tab to display the Format ribbon.
6. In the Bar Styles section of the Format ribbon, select the Critical Tasks checkbox.
Did that resolve the problem? If not, then the tasks in question are NOT Critical tasks. To confirm this, do the following:
1. Click the View tab to display the View ribbon.
2. In the Data section of the View ribbon, click the Tables pick list button and select the Schedule table.
3. Drag the split bar to the right edge of the Total Slack column.
In the Total Slack column, Microsoft Project will display a 0d value for every task that is either a Critical task or a completed task. If the Total Slack value is greater than 0d, this means the task is not a Critical task.
