On a real hypersurface $M$ in a complex two-plane Grassmannian
${{G}_{2}}\left( {{\mathbb{C}}^{m+2}} \right)$ we have the Lie derivation
$\mathcal{L}$ and a differential operator of order one associated with the generalized Tanaka–Webster connection
${{\widehat{\mathcal{L}}}^{\left( k \right)}}$. We give a classification of real hypersurfaces
$M$ on
${{G}_{2}}\left( {{\mathbb{C}}^{m+2}} \right)$ satisfying
$\widehat{\mathcal{L}}_{\xi }^{\left( k \right)}\,S\,=\,{{\mathcal{L}}_{\xi }}S$, where
$\xi$ is the Reeb vector field on
$M$ and
$s$ the Ricci tensor of
$M$.
