Don't worry! No one would hear the difference...! It's just a question of somehow co-articulation.
(Hey! If this really is a main problem for you ... and all the others are already solved: My big congrats to you!! :-)). )

Because in "dreißig" there's a vowel right before the suffix. In all other examples, there's a consonant right before the suffix.
This affects wether the following sound is pronounced voiced or voiceless.
