Default what causes half ripe

Today I picked a Wes that was perfect from my point of view, but after it was off the vine I could see that one half was ripe and the other half was very green.( the ripe portion was like the eastern hemisphere and the line of demarcation was north pole to south)

This is the third Wes tomato taken from the plant and all three were in the 16-20 ounce size range. The other two tasted great. Should I let the entire fruit get red or cut off the green half? I know this has happened to me in other years, but never did ask for an explanation.
