There could be a few things going on, here. If these are outside, then lack of pollination will not be the issue. If they are indoors, then this can be the case.

I would test the soil. There could be phosphorus and potassium deficiencies, or there could be a pH imbalance. Sometimes, too much nitrogen in the soil can cause this as well. This will be the first suspect for outdoor grown cucurbits.

Here are some articles that will help:
