Abstract: Let $M$ be an orientable, simply-connected, closed, non-spin 4-manifold and let $mathcal{G}_k(M)$ be the gauge group of the principal $G$-bundle over $M$ with second Chern class $kinmathbbZ$. It is known that the homotopy type of $mathcal{G}_k(M)$ is determined by the homotopy type of $mathcal{G}_k(mathbb{CP}^2)$. In this paper we investigate properties of $mathcal{G}_k(mathbb{CP}^2)$ when $G=SU(n)$ that partly classify the homotopy types of the gauge groups.
