It sank because the iceberg created a reasonably large hole (rip) in the hull of the ship, which allowed water to come in, uncontrollably filling the lower decks. When water came into the ship, it raised the average density within the hull (which allows a heavy steel ship to float). The ship sank lower into the water, tipped to one side, then sank by the bow.
Most large ships can sink if they take on water, while smaller boats may still float on the surface if they contain enough lightweight materials.
The Titanic suffered extensive damage as it sank, splitting in two. The stern section practically disintegrated when it collided with the ocean floor.
