Problem with my peppers

I have a pepper plant in my plastic house. It is producing flowers but when the flower dies back instead of producing fruit it dies and drops off.
Has anybody any idea why?

Sounds like it's not getting pollinated. There must be no insect life in your plastic house to pollinate between the different flowers so you could try using a really soft paint brush to pollinate between the different flowers yourself...

Thanks for that. I think you are right as the plant is very healthy looking. Just gave the flowers a little tickle.
