Don't think it is hardware issue
Nothing at all. iTunes doesn't use the genre to determine the media kind. See Audiobooks on iPods for some advice on organizing audio books properly within your iTunes library.

Thx, But not sure. Thank you for your link on organising. It doesn't seen very 'Apple-like' to have a redundant classification in one of their menus. I found that Audible uses the single word term Audiobook. As I am transferring from Audio books from Library CDs I would like to do the right approach and not find out sometime in the future that I have to change the genre of such items.
As far as I can tell the terms audio book and audiobook may be used interchangeably. The genre list is populated with a few standard items, plus any unique values in your library. You can reduce the number of variations by editing your tags and choosing one over the other., but you can put anything in the genre field that helps you organize your library in a way that suits you. I would probably go for Audiobook too. Another common variation is Books and spoken word,
