There were 17 Apollo missions. The early ones were for doing some tests in Earth orbit. Some were only sent up to observe the Moon. Apollo 8 was the first to go to the moon, although there were no plans to land on it. They were just testing technology, as were Apollo 9 and 10. Many things had to be tested before they could land. Apollo 11 was the first to land men on the moon. Apollo 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 also put men on the moon. Apollo 13 planned to put men on the moon, but there was a technical problem during their journey, so they did not land on the moon.

Some moon missions did not land on the moon because they were either designed for orbital missions or faced technical issues that prevented a safe landing. In some cases, missions were meant to test different aspects of space travel without requiring a moon landing.
