why are some fruits fleshy and some hard like mango and almond respectively?

Some fruits are fleshy because they have soft epicarp and fleshy mesocarp and endocarp. For example berries (tomato) etc.While as some fruits are hard because they have hard, dry stony pericarp (like almond, cashew) or endocarp (as in case of  mango with single seed inside.).
