In the exercise book I've met the following sentence:
Das ovale Gesicht passt zu Bild A.
Question: Why "Bild" doesn't have any article here? To find examples just google for "zu Bild A".

If a noun is followed by a cardinal number or letter (or combination thereof), there is often no definite article in front of the construction. This holds in particular for printed material or other media:
Omitting the article is not a hard and fast rule, however. For instance, you can find both
and
and the version with article even seems to be more common.
Note the difference between cardinal numbers on the one side and titles or ordinal numbers on the other side: While there is usually no article in
the article is mandatory in
Either Bild A is already uniquely defined, then dem (definite article) is not necessary and einem (indefinite articel) is simply wrong, since there is only one.
Or there are several Bild A, then a typical construction would be
.. dem Bild A, das auf Seite 7 steht.
The article is also likely to be merged with the zu, giving zum.
