I was going through my contacts on the Google contacts app. For some reason I have some contacts I can add to my Google+ circles and others I cannot. Any idea why not?

Removing the access to Google wasn't enough. Facebook still stores these contacts, and you have to request to delete them.
This page is available through a custom URL and I couldn't find it in the Help Center.
https://www.facebook.com/contact_importer/remove_uploads.php
All I had to do is click "Remove" here …
After a few minutes, my imported Google contacts were deleted:
I tried it out myself in creating a new contact group and moving my contacts around a bit on Google Contacts. I did notice a few things:
- For a new contact created through the Google Contacts interface (not linked to any Google+) account, you can only group it into the Google Contact groups and not into the Google+ circles。
- For a contact via your Google+ circles, you still have the option to put them into the respective Google Contacts group.
This means that a Google Contacts group can have a mix of the two types of contacts. However, Google+ circles can only contain people from Google+ and not people that you have add through the "New contact" form in Google Contacts. As for the difference, I can only say that it is a technical difference (and limitation).
I would suggest keeping to the old Google Contacts groups as there is some use of it if you synced the contacts to your Android phone. It makes it easier for you to find your contacts using a custom group that you might have created using it and even add new contacts that do not have an account on Google+.
The Google+ circles are mainly for use by Google+ and possibly Gmail, but the groupings doesn't really have any effect, it only changes how you "group your friends".

After read your question, I just want suggest to you read a manual help support from Google apps/contact or G+. About add people to your circle from contact.
I just found this https://support.google.com/plus/answer/1047805?hl=en&rd=1&authuser=0.
Google says, any some limit for adding people to your circle on a day. So you must wait for a next day to do again. I copy this for you:
Limits on circles
This my own contact, and I find too some of friends I can't add to my G+ circle.
After I look for detail, my friend not using Google product (or) account. So absolutely I cant add them to my circle.
Hope you can get more answer after reading rule or mechanism about how the Google apps work from link I choose it for you.
