Why isn't i before e used for the word their?

The rule "i before e except after c" does not apply to all words in English, and "their" is an example of an exception to this rule. "Their" follows the pattern of "ei" coming before "r" in the word.

Why does the I before E except after C rule not apply for Caffeine and Sleigh?

Because there are exceptions to that rule. The whole rule is actually "I before E except after C, or when spoken like ay as in neighbor and weigh".More information from the Related link:* The rule only applies to digraphs, so words like "deity" and "science" don't count. * The rule "i before e except after c" should be extended to include "except when said 'ay' as in 'neighbor' and 'weigh'". * The rule only applies to digraphs that have the /i:/ ('ee') pronunciation, as in 'piece'. (Note the conflict between this and the previous item.) * The rule doesn't apply to words that are recent imports from foreign languages, such as "gneiss", "dreidel", and "enceinte". * The rule doesn't apply to the large number of plurals of words ending in "cy" ("fallacies", "frequencies", "vacancies", ... ) because in the UK - in traditional RP - "cies" is pronounced with the "i" of "pin", even though it is pronounced with the "ee" of "feed" by most World-English speakers and by younger UK speakers.
