Why does steam does not set off a smoke alarm?
Actually steam can set it off. According to the USFA website, you should not mount a smoke alarm within 3 feet of a bathroom or kitchen to avoid this possibility. Apparently, smoke alarms tend to be more sensitive when the house is colder, so an open window and a smoke alarm close to the bathroom could result in it going off. http://www.usfa.dhs.gov/downloads/pyfff/smkalarm.html

Unless the candle was placed directly under the detector, it is unlikely to produce enough heat to trip a heat element. It is very possible though, that it could give off enough combustion products to set off the smoke detector.
