It does not. The sun is far larger and more massive than Earth is.
So the better question is not why the sun doesn't fall to Earth, but rather why Earth doesn't fall into the sun. Earth is continuously pulled toward the sun by gravity. However, it is already moving so fast that by the time it would have it the sun, it has missed. In this manner earth moves around the sun in an almost perfectly circular orbit.
