Why does Pluto take longer than earth to rotate on its axis?

Pluto is believed to be tidally-locked to its large moon Charon, so that not only does Charon always present the same face to Pluto (as with Earth's Moon), but Pluto's rotation has been slowed to match Charon's orbital speed. The same side of Pluto is always visible from Charon.If this occurred on Earth, where we never see the back side of our Moon, it would mean that the Moon would only be visible from one side of the Earth. Of course, the Earth and Moon are so far apart, and the Earth so much more massive, that this will likely never occur.
