Most Dragon Fruit varieties flowers need pollen from another DF plant to produce fruit.

Are you hand pollinating? Make sure to be thorough and get the pollen all over the stigma. Best to cross pollinate but I have luck pollinating from the same flower. Your variety might require cross pollination however
