    What is Status Bar telling about your selection; is a group probably involved or path effects? Or post a screenshot.

    Status Bar is at the bottom of the Inkscape windows and displays hint&tipps&tricks etc.

    From your screenshot: could be you have a mix of strokes and color filled shapes. Stroke must be converted with Path->Stroke to path before Path->Union will work.
