Toilet Does Not Always Flush...Why?

I have lived in this house for 5 years and I have a 1.6 gpf toilet. Since I first moved in, it has not flushed consistently. One time it flushes just fine…the next time it does not. It does not seem to matter how much of a “payload” there is in the toilet when it is flushed. The tanks refills properly and empties like it should. When the first flush does not empty fully and it is necessary to give it a second flush, often times the second flush just swirls around but does not go down. Often a third flush is necessary. It is just puzzling why it flushes correctly one time and does not the next.

Any thoughts / suggestions are much appreciated.

I do believe you have one of those two flush toilets that was brought out in the USA to try and save water and many have found they did not do as good as they had hoped .
I am not being factious .
Many Americans came to Canada and bought A Canadian toilet to fix the problem .
The Canadian toilet use more water per flush but only need one flush .
I do not know how the new US toilets are .
I have not heard of any Americans coming to Canada for ours any more .
