Why is Salandit not evolving?

Salandit is not evolving because it is a male Salandit, as only female Salandit can evolve into Salazzle by meeting two requirements: having at least 50 Salandit Candy and being a female Salandit. The male:female gender ratio for Salandit is 7:1, making a female Salandit almost as rare as getting a female Starter Pokemon, which can make it difficult to evolve Salandit into Salazzle.
