As the orbits of the Moon about the Earth and the Earth around the Sun are not circular, the distance to each of these bodies varies. Since the strength of gravitational attraction is determined, in part, by the distance between the objects, as the distances change so too does the strength of the tide-raising forces.

As the Moon orbits the Earth - approximately once a month - sometimes we see its bright side, sometimes its dark side, sometimes something in between (partly illuminated).
