The amount of lava erupted from a volcano is tiny compared to the amount of rock in earth's crust, and it quickly looses its heat to air and sometimes water. Trying to melt the earth with the amount of lava that volcanoes erupt would be like trying to melt an iceberg with a drop of water.

The superheated rock of the mantle is under enormous pressure, which keeps it from melting.
