Because the rhinovirus (which is one virus that causes the common cold) mutates and changes its structure extremely frequently as do the other viruses that cause the common cold, such as Coronaviruses, and any of the others of hundreds of viruses that cause colds. While influenza strains also mutate, it is not as quickly as cold viruses that almost constantly are mutating, resulting in several dozen active viruses in any one locality.
In addition, influenza has proven reasonably easy to grow in labs for study and for vaccine production, while cultivating rhinoviruses has proven very difficult.

Are you immune to Influenza after you have had it?
You are not immune to Influenza. Even getting the yearly flu vaccine is no guarantee that a person won't get the flu. You can get the flu but it won't be as bad as it could be if you hadn't received the flu vaccine.
What is the causative organism of seasonal influenza?
The common cold is an upper respiratory tract infection of viral origin, usually caused by a rhinovirus (up to 40% of colds), or by Coronaviruses (about 20%). These are the more common viruses, but there are more than 200 different viruses (some say as many as 700) that can cause the common cold. There are a huge number of different viruses from a number of different viral 'families' that cause cold symptoms. This is the main reason there is no vaccine for the common cold - there are simply too many different viruses to develop vaccines specific to each virus, and before a vaccine can be developed for a new viral mutation, it can mutate again.
