Typically the only thing that would cause a stylesheet not to be applied is not properly referencing it in the HTML head section. Usually this is either a directory error, or more often in my case, a spelling error. Since many projects will use multiple CSS files, it is also important to make sure your normalize.css link is at the top of the list.

CSS links should look something like this...

<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/normalize.css">
</head>
