Because  lipids are fat molecules, fats are like solid oils, in a general sense, look into the reason oil and water don't mix and you will have your answer.
Basically, oily things like lipids are not polar, they have a relatively non-electrostatic surface, whereas water and polar molecules have residual charge spread around different regions of their surfaces.
