Sri Krishnaya Namah!

Whereas SriKrishna had nobody to focus His thoughts and no one to surrender 
to, hence mission failure.

GOD IS BEYOND FAILURES & SUCCESS. HE JUST ENJOYS EVERYTHING HAPPENS IN 
UNIVERSE WITH TRUE BLISS(Krishna)

Yuga dharma plays a pivotal role in the prakruti and its inhabitants. Lord 
also acts as per the dharma, i.e., dwaparayuga and if He deem fit to have 
someone to surrender to Him, He, being the antharyami can get anyone to 
Him. It is all His leela and He acted as per the situation in that yuga, 
which is not better positioned when compared to threthayuga.

Lord Krishna has many facets to His persona. To understand Him is like 
digesting the whole of vedas, even that is not enough to understand Him. 
His stance itself is tribhangi and His birth itself is a magic. Maya 
engulfed in its entirety during His birth and to talk about Him or one of 
His gunas is very difficult as He has many personalities. Those who 
read Mahabharatha like a story can deem it a failure on His part, but if we 
look through His perspective, things will look different, and we can't do 
that because we are children of lesser gods and are not endowed with such a 
brilliance. Many things we assume and presume but understanding 
Parabrahman is not possible in one life time.

Sri Krishna Parabrahmane Namah!

Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha

Priya Bagavad Bandus

As per our Isthihasas it is true that SriRama naver went as a messanger, 
and only Sri Krishna did walk as a messanger.

But SriRama's messanger SriHanuman was successful in His mission,

Inspite of SriKrishna going as a messanger His mission was not successful.

Futhur thoughts on this :

Hanuman during His mission had His thoughts focused on SriRama and since He 
had surrendered to SriRama it was successful.

Whereas SriKrishna had nobody to focus His thoughts and no one to surrender 
to, hence mission failure.

Onceagain it proves that if surrender to our Acharya and leave our burdens 
to Him, He will make our life successful.

Sri:
Srimathe Ramanujaya Nama:

A devotee once challenged Bhattar saying "Swamin! You
show great devotion to Sri Rama but not to Sri Krishna.
However, Lord Krishna is greater in one respect than
Lord Rama and even you cannot deny that".

Bhattar asked him "What is that?"

The devotee replied "Lord Krishna went as a messenger
for the Pandavas to the Kauravas. Lord Rama never did
such an act. Therefore, you have to accept that
Krishna is the more accesible form of the Lord".

Bhattar replied "You are saying this without reading
Azhvar's pasuram on thiru-evvuL.

Thirumangai Azhvar says,

munnOr thUthu vAnaraththin vAyil mozhindhu, arakkan
mannOr thannai vALiyinAl mALA munindhu, avanE
pinnOr thUthu AdhimannarkkAgip peru nilaththAr
innAr thuthanena ninRAn evvuL kidanthAnE

That is, it is the same Rama who sent a message through
Hanuman who later walked as a messenger Himself for the
Pandavas. Therefore, you cannot say that Sri Rama did
not go as a messenger.

However, even if you make such a claim, it is not that
Rama could not be a messenger. He was born as a king and
therefore no one asked Him to be one. Krishna was born
in the yadava clan and therefore it was easy for the
Pandavas to ask him to be their messenger. Had someone
asked Rama to be a messenger, He would have gladly
become one".
