Because Paris is closely related to the Prince and he is a "County", which is to say, a Count. He is a nobleman. The Capulets, on the other hand, are nouveau riche bourgeois types. They are wealthy enough, they "have the chinks", but do not have the social status or political power that nobility would give them.

Although you may have seen Capulet called "Lord Capulet" he is not a Lord and you will not find him called so in any reputable edition of the play. Actually "Lady Capulet" is not so called in any of the original texts of the play either; she is "Capulet's Wife" or "Juliet's Mother", and at the beginning of the lines "Wife", "Old La.", "Lady" and "Mo" somewhat indiscriminately.
