it is about 4yrs. behind the times, it doesn't get much sun, is that why?
What part of the country do you live surrounded by, lilacs have to freeze to know how to bloom...that's the only piece I can think of.
Lilacs like partial shadow to full sun. Mine are under the full trees, but find 1/2 day of sun. They are profuse bloomers contained by the Spring. You can move it.

Answers: The comments everyone made here are flawless and valid, particularly going on for giving it sun....however, I do have two lilacs contained by the shade and I have have better luck with them blooming than the ones contained by the sun -- and they are younger trees.
While you can move it, bear contained by mind it will then run another year or two before it blooms, as you will stress the tree, ruin roots, and have to prune anyway after moving.
The deer do closely of my pruning, so if this might be your problem, put some deer netting around it, or barring that, hang some weak CDs and sprinkle the tree with cayenne pepper on a regular justification.
Lilacs should be fed surrounded by spring, and should have well-drained soil. So, when you nurture next spring (and don't be surprised to find your first bloom), work the food into the ground beside a claw or pitchfork from the perimeter of branches toward trunk.
And afterwards, there are lately going to be those years where factor were poor for budding to pilfer place, or the buds die and fall bad.
