What makes you think they're failing?  They're sending the usual signal to
the program running in the shell buffer.  Some applications handle this
signal. differently from others.  Many interactive applications use SIGINT
(what C-c C-c sends) as the way to get back to their prompt, rather than
terminate the program completely, and I think less is like this.
