          It's simply an issue of incompatibility. Both Matcha and Sierra require GTK+ 3.20 or later, whereas in your system you have GTK+ 3.18 (3.18.9-1ubuntu3.3 to be precise as per the info you provided). Hence those themes don't work properly in your system.



          So either you'll have to install and use a GTK+ theme which supports version 3.18 or you may request the developers of these themes to provide support for GTK+ 3.18 and hope that they'll grant your request.



          You may also consider updating to a newer release. Both Ubuntu 17.10 and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (to be officially released in a week or so) have GTK+ 3.22.



          I couldn't find any info about the "Ultimate Blue" theme you mentioned, but I presume something similar happens with it.
