You are probably using the wrong codecs, there might be several for MP4.

Take a look at Arista, you can download pre-made conversion presets for Arista from http://www.transcoder.org/presets/, they should be custom-made to include the correct codecs for that device.

You can also use MikSoft Mobile Media Converter for the transcoding task, which features pre-loaded Presets for the Sony Ericsson Xperia and/or Vivaz devices, which should be compatible with your Sony Walkman. Additionally you can use several codecs from within the GUI in order to perform an easy transcodification.

Screenshot provided for you to see the Profiles Configuration windows.

Good luck!
