Mesh won't bevel

I have two identical objects (at least I cannot find a difference), but one can be beveled, the other not. Any idea why? I already looked for double vertices.

          You have an hidden internal face.



          Doing Search (F3) > "Select Non Manifold" reveals the problem:



          enter image description here



          In this case, all you need to do is to remove the face: X > "Faces".



          enter image description here



          Note: if you use the Bevel modifier with "Clamp Overlap", it probably works, without the need to fix the topology. But this is a bad practice as you can then easily forget that your topology needs to be fixed, and the problem can resurface later (boolean, sculpting, 3D printing, UV unwrapping)
