Due to low carbon percentage.
There are three types of stainless steel. AUSTENITICThese are the 300 series, IE 304, 316 etc. These are non magnetic. Next are the FERRITIC & MARTENSITIC types.These stainless steels are of the 400 range like 409, 430. The latter type has high mechanical strength and is used as knives etc. They can also have additional alloying elements depending upon the knife quality. These SS are magnetic. However the attraction is weak compared to normal carbon steels without nickle or chrome content. It is these two elements that alters the magnetic ability or characteristics of stainless steel.

MAGNETIC: Magnatite, Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Manganese, Chromium. NON MAGNETIC: hydrogen, water, steel, graphite, diamond, silicon, carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, propane, and almost any other substance you can think of
Does silver stick to magnets?
No, they don't because they're non magnetic. Some commen magnetic materials are iron,nickel,cobalt and steel
Are kitchen faucets non magnetic stainless steel?
Usually made from Chrome plated brass
What test can separate the steel marbles from colored marbles?
Visual - the clue is in the question! Or use a magnet, assuming the steel marbles are not of a non-magnetic grade of stainless-steel.
