Your radios could be programmed with subaudible tones (CTCSS) or digital code squelch (DCS) which the new radios do not have. They can be programmed for it, you need to find out what tone/code you are using.
It could also be that your existing radios are programmed for a "duplex" repeater channel, with different transmit and receive frequencies. The new radios might be on the "repeater output" frequency so they would not activate the repeater.
Both could be the case, missing tone and duplex frequencies.
I would check the programming of the new and old radios, especially for tone/code squelch.
Norm has the right answer. But your radios cannot access a repeater. You need the tone settings to program into the Baofeng or make your Motorola radios no tone. Then they will all talk and listen now. You can get them programmed with tone later.

I forgot to add they both receive from our frequency but will not transmit except to each other.
How come when i use my baofeng to talk to the motorola T5410 it doe not connect. If I use it the other way around it is successfull?
have you set the ctcss
