I had a rusted steel lintel which was replaced last week by a concrete one. Some tiles above the new lintel have now cracked. Should I be concerned?

Also, could someone explain why there should be no mortar between the tiles and the lintel but yet there is mortar between the tiles and the bricks just above? The builder was unable to explain why. He did point the gap.
