Here are a few common reasons why wisteria fail to bloom...see if any of these fit.
--Pruned too late in the year (they bloom on old wood, so pruning too late in the fall or too early in the spring could eliminate flowers)
--Not getting enough sun
--Grown from seed (rather than from cuttings). Seed grown wisteria can take 10+ yrs before they bloom; cutting grown ones should bloom sooner than that
--Too much water/fertilizer can stimulate lots of green growth at the expense of blooms
