I think Rarity and Pinkie work great together, and Putting Your Hoof Down was one of my all time favorite episodes. However, I will admit there may be some bias, since Rarity and Pinkie are my favorites.

It ultimately comes down to the writer. Despite what some fans think, the writers for MLP aren't all that more capable than others, and this can be seen from time to time. I think they've done well pairing Rarity and Pinkie Pie.

Only a handful of pairings haven't been done; that is, some of the mane 6 still don't have close friensships or connections established. Pinkie has no strong connection to Fluttershy, and Rarity has no strong connection to Twilight or Rainbow Dash. They tried to push the Rainbow Dash and Rarity thing in "Rarity Investigates," and it showed all the more that the two just don't connect. Surprisingly, Applejack and Pinkie wasn't done until season 4, and it was done incredibly well, which I think proves that the writer is the one accountable.
