That would probably be because your FLAC files are lossless - they are converted in the SB2 back into a bitstream which is "identical" to the WAV files you started with. Your MP3s will certainly be lossy - though quite how audible the difference will be depends on the quality of the encoder and the bit rate. There are plenty of people who will say a good MP3 at 320kbits is as good as lossless - but if you're down at 128kbits, say, you'd probably have to be hearing-impaired not to be able to tell.
