Does Tackling skill increase the chance of a defensive lineman attempting a tackle on a player that runs right by him while he is being blocked?

Everyone here has seen running backs run really close to their defensive lineman while hitting a hole, and their D-lineman doesn't even get a missed tackle, but they'll also see occasionally getting a tackle on the RB, even when the game graphics show their player still getting blocked.

Does tackling have a major effect on this, or strength, or just luck?

Also, how important is the blocking skill for a DT?

It's a combination of things that tackling does help. I have seen my linebacker get run through like this and then make a diving tackle on the guy while he was being held by a block.
