I think the reason why Cora's kisses didn't break Rumplestiltskin's Dark One curse like Belle's one kiss almost did is because Cora was not trying to break Rumplestiltskin's curse and Belle was trying to do just that. Cora accepted Rumplestiltskin's dark side, perhaps even condoned Rumplestiltskin's evil actions... Belle didn't but Lacey did.
