Did you add priming sugar before bottling? How long have you left it in the bottle? It will take a normal ale around 3 weeks to properly carbonate. Anything significantly less and you will have flat beer.

This is exactly right.
Allow the beer to sit in the bottle at room temperature for at least three weeks. THEN put it in the fridge for at least 24 hours.
