Creepers don't blow up the ground sometimes

What I expected to happen was that the ground would blow up so that I can leave a trail for my friend.
The ground should blow up like in the PC version.

What actually happened was every time I try to kill a creeper and it blows up, it sometimes doesn't blow up the ground.
When it doesn't blow up the ground it just leaves the particles of the area where it was suppose to blow up.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get a creeper
2. Try to kill it but let it blow up
3. 50% chance it won't blow up the ground
