It looks like the banana had poor culture - that means not enough water and fertilizer, or other stresses which resulted in poor fruit size. The ones that are drying up most likely have no flesh in them and are just skin. Banana fruit size and quantity is very dependent on sufficient water and fertilizer throughout the life cycle of the plant. Other stresses can be cold temps, too much shade, root disturbance (from diggin' ups, etc.), rrot rot from excess watering or rain, and so forth.
