Because the surface isn't polished enough to reflect. If it was polished marble or any other polished stone, you might be able to see a reflection. It would be equivalent to getting a reflection from rough concrete, it wont happen. The rough surface of stone or concrete scatters the light reflecting off of it.
The White House was stone grey. The British burned the building. The stone was white washed to cover the scorch marks. It became known as the White House because of this. actually... canada whent across in 1812 the first countery to burn and i mean burn the wite house down and it was blue not grey, look up war of 1812 canada vs america

A white rough surface reflects light rays in many directions, causing them to scatter and not form a clear image of your reflection. This diffuse reflection results in a lack of distinct reflection, making it difficult to see your reflected image on a white rough surface.
The reflection from a white rough surface would scatter light in many directions, resulting in a diffuse reflection with less intensity. In contrast, a mirror would reflect light at the same angle as the incidence angle, providing a clear and specular reflection with high intensity.
The "roughness" of the surface will reflect light into many directions, scattering it away from your eyes. If the white surface is opaque, it's probably filtering out some wavelengths and would not be very reflective, although it is giving off "white light"
Portland Stone
Matte white paint: The rough surface of the paint causes light to scatter in multiple directions, resulting in diffuse reflection. Frosted glass: The surface appears rough due to small irregularities in its texture, which reflect light in various directions rather than producing a clear reflection.

When you look at a white rough surface, the light reflecting off of your face scatters in different directions rather than reflecting back to your eyes in a clear and organized manner. This scattering of light prevents you from seeing a clear reflection of yourself, as the light is not being focused back to your eyes in a coherent way.
A rough surface scatters light in random directions, making it difficult for the rays to reflect back to your eyes in a clear manner to form a visible image. This results in a lack of reflective properties and a distorted or blurry reflection, making it hard to see your image on a white rough surface.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa.
The White House is primarily constructed from Aquia Creek sandstone, which is a light-colored stone sourced from Virginia. The building's exterior is coated with a special white paint, giving it its iconic appearance. Additionally, the stone's durability and aesthetic qualities contribute to the White House's status as a symbol of American architecture and history.
The White Tower in the Tower of London is built from Caen Stone, imported from north-west France.
