Inverted flight

Can anyone tell me why some helicopters are capable of inverted flight (apache, lynx, bk117?) and others are not. My guess is a teetering head would be susceptible to mast bumping (lowG) but, apart from acrobatics prohibited and carburetor problems is there more involved? And can it be sustained or is it short lived.
