I have found that my dogs don't always go potty when I let them out for that purpose. They don't grasp the concept that this is the last opportunity. I stay outside with them and make sure they all go before bedtime. You might try limiting their water after 8 pm. If this doesn't solve the problem, crate them and treat them as though they aren't fully housebroken. It could just be one of them and that could mean a possible urinary tract infection, so a Vet check might be the first thing to do.

I go out with my dogs for potty time. Potty comes FIRST and then we always play or get in a run. Crating is also a good option for overnight. And a UTI is also a good thing to rule out.

Just because I let Tootsie out to potty doesn't mean she'll go. I go out with her and tell her "Potty", so she knows why shes out there.
