You probably just didn't notice the notification on the Mac. Otherwise, check FaceTime settings on the Mac in question by opening the FaceTime app and choosing Settings from the FaceTime menu in the menu bar at the top of the screen. This goes without saying, but naturally the Mac must be signed into the same iCloud account as the iPhone for you to receive FaceTime calls there. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter.
