Because Sauron was confused and disoriented. He kept saying "It's not like that in the book!" and couldn't quite get it together. By the time he'd figured it out Frodo had gone into the tunnel and disappeared.
Lol, you could be right. However, it could be also justification of Sauron's swift attack on Minas Tirith. After all, it looks as ring has fallen into the hands of Gondorians. And then Aragorn shows himself in the palantir and goes for the apparentely helpless battle... in the book it was said then Sauron suspects Aragorn and company have the ring. So all this plotline fits rather well with the book, IMO. (Even if I decidedly don't like Eliah Wood and his wooden face expression!).
I think he was decent and all in the movies (a couple times I was just annoyed with him), he does kinda have this deer-caught-in-headlights look to him.
