The quests are random and created on the fly (there is no stock of n for Whiterun, n for Riften etc..) So there is only a 20% chance of being given a quest for any particular city each time you ask either Vex of Delvin for a job and dice have no memory. In my game I got four for Marketh quite quickly but it took a lot of tries before I got enough for Windhelm. Its aggravating but that's what we have got; just keep quitting out of jobs you don't want until you get ones that you do.
And no, you don't have to take back Riften, but you can do TG quests there for cash if you want.
