Possibly the ticket will be thrown out if it isn't signed, signing confirms that the offender understood what he was being charged with. Without that signature, it could be invalid.

In other jurisdictions the signature is a written promise to appear and is not necessary for the ticket to proceed. Read the citation carefully for the necessary information.

Added: The second answer is correct. Many mis-informed persons believe that if they refuse to sign the violation notice/ticket that they will somehow "beat" the charge." The information from your drivers license, which is contained on the ticket, is sufficient to identify you with as being the operator of the vehicle. Officers are instructed NOT to get into verbal confrontations over the 'signing - no signing' controversy and, if a verbal dispute develops, to simply allow the motorist to go on their way rather than resort to a summary arrest over the matter. .
