iOS app installed failed thru iTunes


I am trying install an iOS app into iPhone. I build that app using enterprise license and build the IPA. Then I tried to install into iPhone using iTunes, it worked fine in one of my device (iOS version 9.2.1).

But when I tried to install it in another device, it not installing. What I did was dragged to iPA into iTunes and click on install and apply button (I did the same for my other device). But what happens is, the intermediate install icon appears and that install animation is coming. But after that it disappears. No error message is displaying. Any help on this?
