Most likely because fossil fuels are not minerals. They are ultimately composed of organic matter which came from living things that died and became buried under sediment. Through a lot of time and a great amount of pressure the fossil fuels were developed. This is also why fossil fuels are considered non-renewable resources because it takes so long to make them.

That's all :)
