Not knowing the year or if carb or injected ill answer both ways Carb, it is because when a car shuts off the few revolutions it makes before a full stop draws some fuel into cyl so restart takes no more fuel, after a short period the gas evaperates so need to pump pedal to start. Injected ( MPI , TBI ) It means the fuel system is leaking down pressure, this can be the fuel pump itself or can be the pressure regulator that holds pressure on return side on shut down. The reason it starts on second crank and not first is that first crank gets pressure back up( pump only runs few a few seconds at start Even if cranked for 60 seconds pump wont restat till engine starts ) then second crank accually gets fuel in cyl. You can get it primed by turning key on for 5 seconds ( NOT to start mode just so lights and such come on) turn off for 5 seconds then Start it. This will be like the second cranking when starts.

When you attempt to start the Volvo 740 the starter just continues to spin without the car starting?

Well, the answer depends on if it's spinning freely or if it's turning the flywheel. In the case of the former, the starter needs to be replaced. In the case of the latter, it gets a bit more complicated, and a more in-depth analysis of what the car actually does as you attempt to start it is required.
