Perhaps you are storing your beer in an area that is too cold or has wide temperature fluctuations. Move it to an area where the ambient temperature is consistently from 65-70 F. If temperature isn’t the problem then maybe you didn’t add enough priming sugar (the proper amount is 3/4 cup for 5 gallons). If you used bleach or some other sanitizer that needs rinsing and you didn’t rinse well enough your yeast could have been killed off.
