  Check in your dashboard at settings > discussion and make sure it is not set to turn comments off on older posts. See #3 here.

  “Automatically close comments on articles older than days” is unchecked in my settings.

  Ok, then go to posts > all posts, locate those posts, select all of them (checkbox at left side of each post) and then use the post bulk edit feature to turn the comments back on for all those posts.

  There is no telling how the comments got turned off only on those posts. Sometimes stuff just happens. Luckily it happens very seldom.
