The beacon itself could be damaged by the impact, or its antenna could be sheared from the fuselage, rendering it inoperable.
And there's one other possibility considered even more likely by some: The crash impact may have actually activated the beacon, but the damaged plane sank in less than 50 seconds, the time necessary for it to transmit its first emergency signal. The beacons do not work underwater.
