This could be happening due to a couple of reasons and one easier way to pinpoint the root cause is to enable 'debug' in your pipelines. It can be done by adding the following line in pipe variables along with the AWS variables added:

DEBUG: 'true'

The issue in my case was that the AWS user with which I was running the pipelines (i.e. the user corresponding to AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY values defined) did not have enough privileges to create a revision in CodeDeploy. This was clearly indicated by the following line which showed up only after I enabled the debug mode:

An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the RegisterApplicationRevision operation: User: arn:aws:iam::XXXXXXXXXXXX:user/bitbucket-deployer is not authorized to perform: codedeploy:RegisterApplicationRevision on resource: arn:aws:codedeploy:$AWS_DEFAULT_REGION:XXXXXXXXXXXX:application:$APPLICATION_NAME'
