Are non transponder aircraft a prob to you guys

Hi guys/gals I am a student flexwing microlight pilot and a guy came into our field yesterday in a flexwing or wobbly wings, whatever you want to call them and his a/craft was fitted with a transponder never seen a flexwing with one before, anyway on to my question, do a/craft not fitted with transponders cause you guys many probs, I was on a solo nav ex some weeks back not to far from blackpool going over the s/west corner of wartons matz at around 3200ft and could see blackpool and felt a little bothered that atc could prob see me on radar but not know my altitude, is this a prob if you have traffic near my radar trace.

Regards Nick.
