If BBM is one of those apps (even if you leave the persistent "connected" icon on within BBM settings), messages will NOT be delivered to the device until you reopen BBM. Essentially I don't know the details of how the apps run in the background, but in the Windows world, BBM is not running as a service so it is actually closed when I close past running apps and is nowhere in memory (even with the connected icon still there), so no messages get delivered.
My wife and I are back using Kik now because this simply is not good enough for a messaging app. If I have to ensure it is running in the background at all times to get messages, what good is it? If I reboot the phone, I have to remember to go into BBM to ensure it is running, in order to receive messages. BBM = Fail in my book. Oh Blackberry...

I had trouble with BBM running the CM nightly on my HTC One too. decided to just convert it to the Google Editon and haven't had any issues since then.
