I had this issue recently; there was an archer not doing anything but still was not being selected by the hotkey. Problem was, even though he was still (not moving nor going anywhere), the UI signaled it as being active, showing the STOP command icon with the open hand image. Once I used the stop command on said unit, the game would properly select it through the hotkey alongside other idle units.

It happened while playing in Return of Rome (final scenario from The ascent of Egypt campaign).
