You may want to gently adjust the bulb while the switch is on. If it doesnt turn on then there must be an underlying problem.
Reasons Why Your Bulb May Not Turn on
You might have changed your light bulb correctly and there is nothing wrong with the new bulb. In this case, there may be some issue with the high voltage in your home that makes the bulb glow brighter and then burns out faster. You need a certified electrician to test the voltage in your home and fix the issue causing frequent burnout of bulbs.
Fixture vibration can also cause frequent burnout of bulbs. A ceiling fan with a light fixture, for instance, can lead to a frequent burnout. With the vibration causing jiggling of the filament of the bulb, there will surely be a constant burnout. When a bulb is loose in its socket, it may cause the flickering of the bulb. Sometimes the contact in the center of the socket might have corroded, causing the bulb to flicker frequently. You will have to fix the socket in this case.
