yeah two males they both have fathered before!
but she hasn't shown any sign at all
thought she would make a lovely breeder

What size your female guppy? If that small then she probably not be ready for bred, give her a more time and more growing. And sometimes there's no gravid on young females, can have babies but in low numbers. She's not infertile, she was just young, just wait till next month then she will have her first batch. It takes a time...plus the colors of this female (if its fancy) that means she's not ready. The true female guppy don't have colors its really normal than these fancy guppies....how can she be boring guppy? What kind is your male guppies? If they are fancy guppies, sometimes when they get older they can't do get their job done (unless you give them Viagra). Albino guppies can be sterile sometimes if its too much inbred.

She's a nice looking fish. Now i can t say what what your doing wrong but she's very slim.
You will need to fatter her up to induce her to produce eggs.
So firstly feed a little more food, if your feeding once a day then start feeding twice.
Add some live foods, daphine blood worm, or ig you can only get frozen then give that 3-4 times a week.
This will then induce her to produce eggs in around 10 days, then you should be expecting fry 28-32 days later.
If she dont put any weight on then their a couple other things to check
What temp is the water?

It looks like a endler its extremely similar to my endler females same size and body structure
Could she be a cross between a endler and guppy?

The base colour is blond in the guppy and is defo not a endler.
As endlers and guppies are closely related they are gonna look the same, and this could be said to any plain or wild guppy!!!

Every thing sounds fine, but she's missing something.
Course she may be infertile as a resualt of poor feeding or desiease while young, nothing you can do if thats so.
Sorry
