Aircraft Y was exiting off of a north-complex runway at Taxiway Exit 1. Aircraft Y was instructed by North Ground Control (frequency) to make a left on Taxiway 2. Aircraft Y did not respond and was continuing towards Taxiway 1 where I was Towing an Aircraft X opposite direction to Aircraft Y. My destination was Gate X which is the end gate closest and adjacent to Taxiway 2; I was concerned that Aircraft Y was getting to close to me because my right wing would likely overlap some of Taxiway 2. Ground Control called a second time and Aircraft Y still did not respond. Finally; after 3 or 4 attempts; Aircraft Y switched to frequency and announced his exit of Runway XXL on Taxiway 1.Though this is the first time expressing my concerns; I have witnessed the same behavior/problem on two other occasions in 2020 in the south complex. One time the same Aircraft Y flight was both non-responsive and slow moving; and thereby caused me to avoid an imminent situation with another aircraft exiting a runway as I was forced to hold short of a runway exit against ATC instructions. ATC was not aware that Aircraft Y was blocking my path. I have witnessed another occasion where the same flight; Aircraft Y; stalled off a runway exit and created unnecessary congestion on the Taxiway. The consistency of Aircraft Y's mishaps is troubling as these identical problems span a period of 2 years.
Tug driver reported a ground conflict with another similar type aircraft that was not on frequency.
