My guess is that because wings need to be earned, and she ddn't earn them yet. But then why does she have wings when she pony-ups? Well, I have a theory on this.

It seems that when magic goes from one world to the other, it changes a bit (as evidence in the short where Sunset runs tests on her friends and concludes that she has no idea how magic works in the human world). The magic the EQGs possess is alicorn magic that they got from Twilight's crown, which she shared with them. It stayed with them after she left, which is why they continue to pony-up. Sunset also got her magic from the crown, only it's now uncorrupted, which is why she pony-ups. Sci-Twi got her magic from all of the EQGs, which stayed with her, now uncorrupted, and since she got her magic from all six of them, it amounted to alicorn magic, which is where she got her wings from when she pony-ups, but she herself doesn't have alicorn status.

I wonder though, when human Cadance and and Shining Armor have human Flurry Heart, will she be an alicorn when she goes to Equestria. Pony Celestia, Luna, and Cadance earned their wings, but their human counterparts didn't, so they would lilkely be unicorns if they go to Equestria. Pony Cadance passed on her alicorn status to Flurry Heart, but since human Cadance didn't earn that status, she wouldn't be able to pass that on to human Flurry Heart. So my guess is that human Flurry Heart would be a unicorn if she went to Equestria too.
