It really doesn't matter why you don't get a response. The way TCP works, either the data will remain ordered as I describe, or you've got a broken TCP implementation.

If the latter is the case, you probably shouldn't be using TCP. Doing so will only cause huge headaches down the road, because all of the non-specialized parts of your communications network will not understand or allow for a broken TCP implementation.
