From Colin McRae, Tommi Makinen, Carlos Sainz, Didier Auriol and Bruno Thiry four have won drivers title. Out of their co-drivers one-time co-drivers Nicky Grist, Risto Mannisenmaki, Luis Moya, Denis Giraudet and Stephane Prevot only have been co-driver champions.
Which ones and why others are not?

Luis Moya was co-driver champion with Carlos Sainz in 1990 and 1992. Risto Mannisenmaki was co-driver champion with Tommi Makinen in 1998 and 1999.
When Colin McRae won his title in 1995, he was co-driven by Derek Ringer. Nicky Grist joined Colin only from 1997 and even though he did navigate also for Juha Kankkunen in 1993 when finn won his fourth title, they did only half of the season together.
Similarly, Didier Auriol (who is perhaps the hardest one to recognize from the picture) won his title with Bernard Occelli and paired with Denis Giraudet only later.
Stephane Prevot has no title because he has not been paired with championship winning driver. Until perhaps now when he navigates for Francois Duval.
