Neither side had the power to defeat the other outright.
The Athenians were dominant at sea but unable to assemble sufficient land power to defeat the Spartan alliance, staying behind their city walls, conducting amphibious raids, and collecting tribute from its empire to finance its fleet and supply the city.
The Spartan alliance was dominant on land, but did not have the capacity to either breach the walls of Athens or match its navy at sea.
This changed when Persia provided money to Sparta, which was then able to expand its alliance fleet and hire the best sailors, so Athens was matched at sea as well as under seige at home, and unable to collect the tribute from its empire which financed its fleet. Defeat of the Athenian fleet in the Dardanelles ended its naval capability and ability to continue the war.

The 27-year Peloponnesian War was between Athens and its empire, and the Peloponnesian League of Greek city-states led by Sparta. The Persians intervened late in the war by giving the Peloponnesians the money to get a fleet able to stand up to the hitherto dominant Athenian fleet, so causing Athens to lose the war.
What caused Athens to lose?
Athens lost the Peloponnesian War because it was overconfident. It took severe losses over the unexpected 27 years of the war, and eventually Persia bankrolled at competitive fleet for the opposing Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. Athens lost its fleet, and so was starved into submission.
How was the Anthenian navy able to hold off defeat for so long?
Athens started the Peloponnesian War with a navy superior in numbers and quality of ships, sailors and rowers to those of the opposing Peloponnesian League. As the war went on Athens suffered some severe losses which were hard to replace, however they still maintained the quality and superiority by being seen to be the winners at sea, and attracting the best ships crews. However the opposing Peloponnesian League was later subsidised by the Persians and so was able to offer double the pay which Athens offered, so attracting the best Greek crews, and the balance swung against Athens.
What events lead Sparta to declare war on Athens in the Peloponnesian War?
There was one Peloponnesian War. It was finally sparked by Athens' refusal to lift a ruinous trade ban on Megara.
