Just wondering if your soil is too fertile.  Is the vine vigorous, 
producing lots of growth, but doesn't flower?

Here in the UK the only hardy(ish) passion fruit is Passiflora caerulea. 
  It is said that it should be planted in poor soil, as otherwise it 
simply grows like a weed and never flowers/fruits.
