Because their tongues are slightly too big for their mouths.

This is a congenital [genetically caused] disorder - quite similar, in cause, to a thousand other genetic disorders.

Some people have lisps because they have braces, expanders, retainers, et-cetera. This causes the tongue to be moved into a place the tongue isn't used to talking in. For a regular person it is just because where the tongue is in the mouth in comparison to the teeth. If the tongue is naturally between two teeth that causes it not to do the exact motion it should do, there is a lisp.
