Water is a polar solvent and hexane is a non-polar solute. Always remember the rule "like dissolves like". Hexane does not have the ability to form bonds with water because it does not have any oxygen molecules. Hexane only has groups CH2 and CH3, water only has H2O. They are too different from each other and are not miscible.
