Try giving it a small shot of starting fluid. If it tries to fire then you know you have a lack of fuel issue. If it doesn't try to fire then ignition or properly timed compression may be the problem

I was having the same issue with my 2005 dodge ram. I agree with bob, spray some starting fluid into the throttle body then attempt to start. if it does start then focus on your fuel delivery system. My issue was bad gas. I had filled up at one of those cheap gas stations.
