Short answer: Glass is usually air-tight, so you can't breathe.

Long answer: The human body needs a more or less constant percentage of oxygen in the air so that the lungs can distribute enough through the body.

Inside of a sealed container, a living human is using up the oxygen they already have, but no more is being created or allowed through, so the oxygen percentage goes down. Once it hits a certain point, the body can no longer get what it needs from the air and the person will die of asphyxiation.
