If it does it when you turn the key and the engine does not turn over, it is a weak battery or possibly a loose connection on the cables.

What causes a clicking sound and the car not to start when the battery is charged?

Then your battery is still not charged. The clicking sound is the solenoid that has a little gear on it that engages with the ring gear of the engine to spin it. There is a certain amount of voltage needed to push that solenoid into the ring gear and your battery isn't putting out enough. You'll need a jump to get started and then need to consider the battery.
