What Zellox said is generally true. I find that usually if you have a harder time beating someone, you'll get more points than someone who you can 1 shot their knights. Also GM, GS, GC, and HCs all have rank bonuses you get for beating them, so it does usually give you more points than say a commander. Although not always, I've gotten more points from a HC than the GM in a guild before, and they seemed to be a similar toughness. And from the original post; maybe they had a guardian active that battle, and you didn't defeat it.
