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.
