I guess because the CSS code that manages this element is:
.block-hero-no-image {
background-blend-mode: luminosity;
background-color: #0074bd;

background-position: center center;
background-repeat: repeat;
}
The background-blend-mode CSS3 property is not supported by Microsoft browsers:

I would recommend to use another CSS technique for this block - for example CSS opacity or RGBA color.
Or may be simply color texture.png file.
