The simplest would be winter kill. Many older varieties of forsythia won't bloom after a hard winter or a late spring frost. The buds are simply not hardy enough to survive. However, the most common reason for forsythia not blooming is improper pruning.
Forsythia likes to be cut back every year(usually) but since it isn't blooming now, you might want to cut it back and hope for next year.
May be you are cutting it back at wrong time. Flowers on last years growth.
