This is common. Some males just don't care for it's new woman. That's why when breeding, it's best to have a few males and females and just mix and match the ones interested.

I hatch my own brine shrimp fry as well. I normally keep the breeding container in the bathroom and close the door. I sometimes don't see fry until the next day or so. Just be cautious though, if the eggs you have NEVER hatch, then you may have some old eggs and just suggest getting a new batch.
