simple answer: because of the instruments and the phrasing of the notes that they play.
Blues Music uses a special variant of the scales called unsurprisingly "The Blues scale".
Which is the minor pentatonic scale plus an extra note.
In C major these notes would be;
C - Eb - F - Gb - G - Bb - C
It is the intervals between these notes that produces a sad emotional response by humans.
