If some messages sync, but not all, try signing out of iCloud on both devices and reset both devices, then sign back into iCloud (iPhone first, then iPad) and verify that your iCloud settings are correct on both devices.

If no messages are syncing, even iMessages, are both devices signed into the same iCloud account?
