It could be you have a thermostat that has gone bad, in most cars it is located on the water pump and it is not necessary to have one unless you need heat in your car. Its been a wide practice in most hot climates that once it goes bad they just remove it and don't bother replacing it.

It's possible that your fan may not be kicking on. To check if your fan is working on your car, turn your air conditioner on, your fan should come on at that time. If it does, you may need to look at your censors that control your fan. Also, make sure that you do not have any leaks in your hoses leading from your motor to your radiator. Hope this helps!
