Changing an L7 LB to an L4 LB ramifications

We are migrating from -V to -T and manually creating the new configuration. In -V we had a few Virtual Servers that were configured as "Protocol: HTTP" I assume that this defines them as Layer 7 LBs. We replaced them with Layer 4/TCP Virtual Servers in -T and all but one worked fine.

I am not an LB expert - but can anyone think of a reason why changing an LB from Layer 7 to Layer 4 would break the load balancing of a RESTful API-based application?
