So as Router2 seems to be forwarding packets, and it has router to directly connected networks (shared with Router1 and Router3) the communication between Router1 and Router3 works. My guess is a wrong configuration of routing tables. Maybe you could try traceroute to see if packets reach the other end, or they get lost at some point. It wouldn't be unusual for the packets to reach the destination, but be unable to return to the source, so check the routing tables and follow the path the packets would travel.
