The flower becomes a tomato, because of pollination, and because of the proper environmental conditions for fruit to set. These conditions include air/soil temperature ranges, and soil moisture and nutrient levels. For example, night-time air temperatures may range between 60-70 degrees F, day-time 70-85 degrees F. Spreading a couple of inches of mulch around tomato plants evens out soil moisture and temperature extremes. In terms of nutrients, too much nitrogen causes lush vegetative growth at the expense of flower and fruit. Phosphorus [the P of NPK fertilizers] supports seeding, rooting, fruiting, and flowering in plants.

Do tomato have flowers?

The tomato plant certainly does have flowers. Generally they are yellow, bell-shaped flowers visited by bees that bring the pollen to the pistil, though most are wind pollinated. It is the pollination of the flower that produces the delicious fruit we call "the tomato". If you hold a tomato in your hand, it is pretty obvious where the stem was located -- it's a pretty big scar. On the opposite end, where you might see a little pointy bump, is where the flower used to be.
