The hydrangea is about 10yrs old. This is the first year it hasn't bloomed

Probably not. Hydrangeas bloom on old growth so I just prune a stray
branch or two to even up the symmetry. Sometimes plants may take a
year of resting from bloom, and often results in more intense blooming
the following year.
