Male flowers do not produce seeds.
When plants have specialized male and female flowers, the male flowers only produce pollen. Only the female flowers produce seeds.
Other reasons why a flower might not produce seeds:
The flower may look all right but be flawed or underdeveloped.
Over-specialized plants may depend on only one agent to carry their pollen. If that insect or bird or other animal disappears from the area, all those flowers will bloom and wither without producing any seeds.
Some flowers don't produce seeds because the plant is sterile. When botanists cross-breed plants, the hybrids sometimes end up with odd numbers of chromosomes and the plants cannot reproduce - but they can flower.
Some common plants that do not produce flowers are mosses, ferns, and horsetails. These plants reproduce through spores or other methods, like fiddleheads in ferns. Additionally, plants like algae and mosses do not have true roots, stems, or leaves.
