It seems it has to do with how much water the watermelon has soaked in a given time interval:

And some types of watermelons are thin-skinned and have a higher propension to split easily.
The article link above states that it might also have to do with pesticides and fertilizers, but I doubt it applies to watermelons here in North America.
