Dimpling is normal starting from as early as day 30 upto day 40. If the eggs are too wet they won't dimple at all. Eggs can safely collapse upto 50% and still have a healthy baby hatch out however most only dimple about 25%.
If the eggs don't dimple at all you risk the following;
1) drowing the baby
2) killing the baby from too much pressure in the egg
3) having the baby absorb too much yoke which could kill the baby (either turns hard or is just too much to digest)

I find it intriguing myself. Most of my eggs never dimple and hatch out just fine.
