Ephraim was Joseph's son, so there's only one of Jacobs's sons (Israel's tribes) missing - Dan.

Danites were said to be rabid in idolatry.

That is probably the reason but I don't have more insight into that yet. I'm reading through the Old Testament and I expect at some point I'll have more understanding about what happened to Dan.

Ya but Mennassah was also his son and is listed.
