Why won't professors respond to my e-mails?

Okay, is like not responding to things normal, even outside colleges? I’m doing an internship during January, and the person in charge e-mailed me and told me to call her if I had any questions. I had questions, so I called her, but she wasn’t there so I left a message (that was clear, I stated my name, why I was calling, asked my questions, and left a phone number even though they should already have my phone number) and she never got back to me. I had to call her again a few days later, and when she picked up, she never even acknowledged that I had left her a message.
