After reading most of the recent comments, I got an idea which is most like (true) reason why Touma cannot be an esper, even a level 1, like Uiharu...

An Esper has something called Personal Reality, a reality believed to be true to the esper, not necessarily true to the original physics. For ex. a normal (level 0) human, naturally, cannot produce high-voltage electric current like Mikoto, or cannot reflect anything that comes to them like Accelerator. Even after getting a taste of ESP development curriculum, not everyone could escape the "true" reality that happens in this world, therefore they cannot develop their own "personal reality".

Touma is one of many normal (level 0) human that cannot escape from the "true" reality of thw world he lives in. But, unlike any other "normal" human, he "subconsciously" rejects the existence of Esper (and later anything supernatural) that happens around him. While other 'normal' level 0 cannot escape the 'original' reality but still believes in espers power, Toum, in contrast, cannot become espers because he cannot escape the original reality BECAUSE he 'rejects' the existance of the ESP power itself. This is (most likely) the reason that Touma cannot even become a level 1 esper. Instead, because he 'cannot escape the original reality BECAUSE he 'rejects' the existance of the ESP power (and later anything supernatural)', he got another kind of ability, Imagine Breaker. In contrast with how ESP & Magic works, which is bending the 'original' reality to make something happen, IB works by restoring the 'bended' reality into the 'original' reality.

About Touma's other ability, Invisible Thing & Dragon Kings, this ability is somewhat quite resembles to Gemstones. My guess is, Touma (might be) a person similar to Gunha, a Gemstone. Because of certain thing(s) (might be related to his lost memory even before meeting Misaki), Touma refuses to accept the existence of his Gemstone power, thus resulting him acquired Imagine Breaker (I guess Imagine Breaker is not an Innate Ability of him, rather an ability born after he discovers Dragon Kings & Invisible Thing)
