Two possibilities:
1. It's the last and only city of that player. (You CAN'T take a player's only city, sorry.)
or
2. You no longer have any slots for a new city. (A Knight can only have 2 cities, a Baronet 3, a Baron 4, and so on.)
I'm guessing it's #2 since #1 would have said "This is the last city ... show mercy, my lord" or something to that effect in the report that it will give you.
If the report says "Conquer unsuccessful ... you need to advance your title" (or something like that) ... then it's definitely #2.
Hope that helps
More reminders:
Don't send scouts to conquer a city. They can't do it for you. Send over 1k of troops, pref archers (don't bother about transports or ballistae; they only slow down your marching), to do this ... or 1k cavs or more (depending on how many abatises are left) for faster march time.
