You don't have notifications configured properly.

Seriously though, this is not enough information to provide even a  
guess what you've done wrong. There are many more variables than what  
you've detailed here and nothing you've provided says anything about  
your notification configuration. For starters, do you have the correct  
notification options for the service? For the contact? Is the  
timeperiod valid for both? Is the service reaching an alertable, HARD  
state?

If you want help with this, post the following--

*From objects.cache* --

host definition
service definition
contactgroup definition
contact definition
the service notification command{} definition for the contact
all referenced timeperiod definitions

 From nagios.log --

all entries related to this host or service around the time you expect  
a notification to be sent.

 From maillog --

any entries related to messages for the contact

Also, verify in the web interface that notifications are enabled for  
the host and service and that it is not in a period of scheduled  
downtime.
