Legolas has just left Hobbiton.
The difference is the manner in which they failed. Saruman not only abandoned the mission, he turned against it - i.e. taking an active part for the opposite side. The other three simply ignored their mission (unless the Blue Wizards turned evil also).

Tolkien is actually the one who said that:

Indeed, of all the Istari, one only remained faithful.
Hard to argue with him
