 A simple reason might be that he doesn't have a clue what to reply.
He might not even realize a reply is needed. If he ain't into chit-chat normally, he won't be likely to send meaningless text messages either.
Just offering another possible reason besides the ones already mentioned.

 Hmmmm-good question!If it was me, being busy is no excuse. Not being interested is another matter! sometimes being seen to be too keen can be a hurdle for guys-ironically, especially if they really like you, they may take longer to respond! in fact, being too keen to reply could mean that they're not interested in a meaningful relationship!That may sound confusing but in my opinion, the longer a guy takes to respond, the more thought they've given...probably a good thing. Not always true tho'-gotta watch for the players!You're female and we're simply not that complicated-you'll work it out I'm sure!

Next time he calls, ask "for some reason I thought you would have called on xxx". Communication is important.
