They are both elemental solids under normal conditions. Other than that, they're quite different. Iron (Fe) is a metal and will form a cation during bonding. Sulfur (S) is a non-metal and will form an anion during bonding. Iron is a good conductor of heat and electricity; sulfur is not. Iron is dark gray in color; sulfur is yellow.

Why is iron and sulfur mixture but not compound?

If you just mix iron and sulphur together, you're still left with a pile of iron and sulphur that are distinctly separate and could be easily separated by throwing the mixture in water (iron sinks, sulphur powder floats). If they were to react together, to become iron sulphide, then they would be chemically bound to each other as a compound and wouldn't be able to be separated by physical means.

Why there is no substance formed when sulfur and iron is heated?

When sulfur and iron are heated together, they react to form iron sulfide. Iron sulfide is a compound, not a mixture, so it does not show the properties of its individual elements like sulfur and iron. The formation of this compound is a chemical reaction where the atoms of sulfur and iron rearrange to create a new substance with different properties.
