What could be the reason why my model does not give accurate results as I planned?

Hi everyone. First of all, thank you for your time. This will be my first question on the matlab platform. Please excuse me if I have any mistakes. If you understand the problem, you can already find the necessary files in the zip folder. If you want to view images in pgm format, you can use the GIMP application.
I am planning to design a MLP image processing model without using any toolbox.
I plan to train my model by reading one by one 32×30 scale images in the CMU face images dataset I obtained from the internet and then continue with testing process.
(I use imread function that is provided by MATLAB)
INPUT is a cell vector which contains image matrixes in each element. So each element represents an image actually. While processing samples one by one I get its images as column vector.
Here is the code for file operations and image reading:
clc;clear;close;
%*****************Reading Images**************
myFolder = ”; %% Images folder path
if ~isfolder(myFolder) %% Checking if the folder doesn’t exist
errorMessage = sprintf(‘Error: The following folder does not exist:n%snPlease specify a new folder.’, myFolder);
uiwait(warndlg(errorMessage));
myFolder = uigetdir(); % Ask for a new one.
if myFolder == 0
% User clicked Cancel
return;
end
end
filePattern = fullfile(myFolder, ‘*.pgm’);
theFiles = dir(filePattern);
% Define the number of image files in the folder
numImages = length(theFiles);
% Initialize a cell array to store the images
INPUT = cell(numImages, 1);
for k = 1 : length(theFiles)
baseFileName = theFiles(k).name;
fullFileName = fullfile(theFiles(k).folder, baseFileName);
INPUT{k} = imread(fullFileName);
imshow(INPUT{k}); % Display image.
drawnow; % Force display to update immediately.
end
%***********************************************
It is a user-interactive model, and firstly I get the number of:
Hidden layers:
Neurons in each hidden layer: (neuron numbers will be the same for each hidden layer)
Max iteration:
of my model from user.
Other definitions are shown in below code. I define NumberOfInput as 960 which comes from 32×30 because Weight matrix’s size between input layer and first hidden layer needed to adjusted in that way.
Weight matrix values are assigned randomly.
My model should return 0 if person doesn’t wear sunglasses and 1 if person wears with high accuracy. So it is scaler and there will be 1 output obviously.
I studied about MLP models and I found that finding perfect variables is a hard subject in machine learning and it depends on application and tests. So I defined my ETA with various values: 0.01,0.02,0.05,0.2,0.5….
In this type of model input to neurons are defined as netH and output of these neurons are defined as H except last connections. In there they become netO and O.
Also sigma size is defined in order to use after forward state (backward state starts).
My model is an example of Supervised Learning and it needs some outputs for training images like mentioned DESIRED as below. Images inside Model_Training are located as open–>sunglasses–>open–>sunglasses… so I decided to define desired with this order as shown below.
Here is the code:

if(Nofneurons<=0 || NofLayers<=0 || Max_iteration<=0)
fprintf("These values can’t be accepted !");
fprintf("nPlease enter again");
else
break;
end
end
W = cell(NofLayers+1,1);

You can run and test it with the files that provided in zip file. In this kind of model as I know I need to try it with high number of layer and neuron. I tried with 4-20 5-30 5-35 … Generally it returns 1 and this is the problem that I am struggling with.
