Two reasons- she was travelling too fast at the time of the collision, largely at the behest of the White Star Line's owner Bruce Ismay, who was on board and wanted to finish off an otherwise perfect voyage by arriving in New York ahead of schedule. This meant that the lookouts had little time to spot the iceberg and telephone a warning to the bridge before the vessel hit it. Authoritative advice had counselled caution as Titanicapproached the ice-field, including Captain E.J.Smith, builder Jospeh Andrews and vessels in neighbouring shipping lanes, who radio'd in repeated warnings- however, Ismay overruled all of this and threw caution to the wind. The other reason was the fact that the iceberg was what is known as a 'black 'berg'- that is, an iceberg that has capsized so that it's comparatively translucent underside is topmost up, making it far harder to spot in the dead of night than ordinary icebergs. Added to that, there was no moon, and the sea was extremely calm, which meant that there was no wash visible around the base of the 'berg to reveal it's presence.
