An isotope depends on the number of neutrons in the atom. If you consider various isotopes of a particular element, the proton number does not change.

Examples:

Carbon 12: 6n, 6p

Carbon 13: 7n, 6p

Hydrogen 1 (protium): 1p

Hydrogen 2 (deuterium): 1n, 1p

What are all the elements that do not have isotopes?

There are many elements that have only one naturally occurring isotope. When you get to transuranic elements the elements all have no naturally occurring isotopes. But all elements have isotopes, they just have to be created, maybe in a nuclear reactor or particle accelerator or a supernova explosion.

No elements have the same average mass, but some isotopes are the same mass as other elements, For example Carbon-13 (an isotope of carbon) has the same mass as nitrogen-13 (which is also an isotope of nitrogen).
