Since your amaryllis did not bloom that is a sign that it did not store enough energy to produce flowers. A green stem will continue to promote photosynthesis, which creates energy that is stored in the bulb for future leaf growth and flowers. Depending on when you want it to bloom, you will want to keep the plant healthy and growing by placing it in a sunny location. It should continue to grow long, smooth leaves, which will promote photosynthesis. You will also want to continue to water and fertilize the plant regularly. If you want it to bloom at a certain time, plan to place it in a cool, dry, and dark location for 8 to 10 weeks prior to that time. Cut off watering during that dormancy period and let the leaves brown before removing. Once new growth appears, remove your amaryllis and place it in a sunny window.
