Sometimes no pricing is offered because the lead quality is judged to be too low to move forward.

To add from my experience, some customers just want the pricing to do comparison shopping, justify their bespoke system development efforts, or just to know what is happening in the market. I have had a situation where I didn't offer pricing as the lead was really not the right fit; they went ahead and complained directly to my higher management. Luckily, I had already marked the lead as closed in my CRM with the required explanation and my reporting manager had faith in me.
