Because the glass isn't actually a solid - it's a 'super-cooled' liquid. Since the glass is able to flex, it 'absorbs' most changes in air-pressure. This stops the glass from breaking, unless the pressure is so great or so suddent that it causes the glass to crack - creating a weakness.

How does flying supersonic aircraft shatter glass of the window panes?

Moving faster than the speed of sound creates a shockwave. This shockwave is a wave of very high air pressure. When it hits glass it pushes on it and if the pressure of the shockwave is higher than the strength of the glass, the glass breaks.
