Because Greece as we know it today did not exist then. Greeks of the ancient period did not have an idea of a nation of Greece, they simply shared culture and language to some extent. Therefore cities ran themselves independently, Athens famously ran itself as democracy for some of its history whereas Sparta was a monarchy. Each city had its own idea of government etc and so they saw no need to form one nation. Greece could act together, mostly when faced with a common threat, but soon after each city went back to trying to be the dominant city in the area.
