It has nothing to do with atmosphere. The earth and the asteroid are moving in roughly the same direction and the asteroid is not aimed at the center of the earth. Most asteroids will miss the earth, a few will pass close enough to enter the atmosphere then leave without hitting (some of these will explode before they can leave), others will hit at shallow angles.

Perhaps one in a billion might hit near vertically.
