It is because the red litmus paper only changes its color (from red to blue) when exposed to any basic substance. Hydrochloric acid is acidic, thus there is no change in the color of the red litmus paper, although the acid would change the color of the blue litmus paper (pH paper that tests for acidity; changes from blue to red in the presence of acid)
