Pete, I don't think purity of your animals is the case. If that was the case all these hybrids wouldn't be produced and just as fertile as "pure" animals. I am thinking either the pair you have is just not compatible or your male is not producing viable sperm. Just remember that L.t.sinaloae and L.t.nelsoni breed a lot later in the year than say most other triangulum species. I find that L.t.nelsoni don't start their ovulation til after the second and mostly their 3rd post brumation sheds. Same with sinaloae. Try to keep your males a little cooler with a max heat exposure of 78 F. Your males may be getting to warm and killing their sperm. This is just a guess, as I don't know what your husbandry techniques are....
