In the 'Transactions' tab the transaction is shown with a square "Seen by 1 peer" or, very rarely, a triangle "Seen by 0 peers". When you press the 'Send' button, MultiBit Classic broadcasts your transaction to a single bitcoind peer. It then listens on all its other connections to check that the transaction has been broadcast successfully. If you see a square or triangle in the transaction status this is a "did not broadcast" failure which means that the broadcast and propagation through the Bitcoin network was unsuccessful.
There are two main reasons why a transaction gets stuck on "Seen by one peer" and does not propagate through the Bitcoin network. In this case it will not pass it onto other bitcoind instances.
Your transaction will never propagate across the Bitcoin network and the recipient will not receive it. It also will not appear on sites such as blockchain.

Restart MultiBit Classic and it will re-transmit any transactions that were unsuccessfully sent previously. It can sometimes take a couple of minutes to send a transaction and for it to propagate through the Bitcoin network. The peer received the transaction but "did not like it" did not relay In this case it will not pass it onto other bitcoind instances.
In a rough order of frequency they are: There are lots of tiny inputs under satoshis in your wallet and the transaction fires the anti-spam rules. The fee is too small and the peer chooses not to relay it. The transaction is a double spend. Doubles spends aren't relayed through the network. Some other reason - this is not a definitive list.
