It could be something as simple as your car having no thermostat so it doesn't get up to temperature but without accurately knowing the water temperature it's hard to say.

Stock temperature gauges aren't accurate though. Mine sits in the middle and doesn't move but the actual temperature goes between 83 and 91 degrees.

Fan switch, wiring, faulty fans, not up to temp for the fans to kick in....The list goes on.
