Why Only 13 hosts send a reply while others do not?

One of the ways to map a targeted network for live hosts is by sending an ICMP ECHO request to
the broadcast or the network address. The request would be broadcasted to all hosts on the
targeted network. The live hosts will send an ICMP ECHO Reply to the attacker’s source IP address.
You send a ping request to the broadcast address 192.168.5.255.

others do not. Why?
