The pressure is too high and the temperature is too low for significant melting to occur and as such it remains solid.

The Earth's entire mantle isn't liquid because of its composition and temperature. The mantle is made up of solid rock materials that can partially melt under high temperatures and pressures. However, not all of the mantle reaches temperatures high enough to completely melt, resulting in a semi-solid state known as the asthenosphere.

Why isnt the change in earths distance from the sun enough to cause the seasons?

The change in distance is not very significant. Note that when it is Summer in the northern hemisphere, it is Winter in the south, and vice versa. This has nothing to do with the distance from the Sun, which is practically the same for North and South.
