what kind of light are you using? Are you making sure the object is within the light's glow? For glass shaders to work, you also need to make sure that you have Raytracing active in your Render Globals.

A screen shot or something might help.

you'll need to show some kind of info in regard to how you're lighting your scene... just in case, you can create lights at Create > Lights > choose light.
