Because of the laws of physics. The magnet depending on the size strengh and density of the material loses the ability to still create a positive and negative attraction. Although there is a very miniscule attraction to other magnetic fields around the magnet In hand there will never be enough attraction to slap it back to the fridge. In other words your too far away
