I can't tell if it's in a pot or in the ground, but weeping cherry trees in containers don't live as long as those planted in the ground. The lack of blossoms is usually an environmental issue, such as a drought or late spring freeze. Make sure the tree is still getting good light and is watered when rainfall is lacking. You can also check for pests on the tree. Pruning dead and diseased wood will invigorate the tree and may help. Also make sure it is not getting excessive nitrogen, which will sacrifice blooms.
