There can be a number of factors that will prevent your hibiscus from blooming.
Hibiscus need at least 6 hours of sunlight a day and lots of direct light promotes blooms, so too much shade can impact your plant. Hibiscus plants also have high water needs that should be on a schedule. An extended time without water can affect blooming, while too much water can as well. Water when the soil is mostly dry but still a bit damp because they do not like to dry out completely.
Fertilizing can also play a part because while used in the correct way it can allow your plant to thrive, it can also do the opposite if it does not get the right balance. (See above for fertilizing instructions.)
Depending on the age of your plant, pruning can also help but it may be a longer term solution. Just remember not to remove more than one-third of your plant at one time.
