It most likely has something to do with an adverse reactance in your
antenna / matching unit / coax to your radio.
The same reactance with two totally different antennas each with its own
matching unit and coax ???
What kind of matching unit are you using on your dipole? What frequency is
your
dipole cut for?

Check out the antennas section on my web page in my signature for antenna
info.
I prefer a band specific dipole, or just a wire here.
Currently using 70' N-S, and 200' W-E wires into 9:1 matching transformers.
The feed points for the coax are at least 50' behind the shack.
Works for me.
