This may be a problem with loss of motility in the esophagus, or with the lower esophageal sphincter. You should consult a doctor if this is an ongoing problem.
If not accompanied by bloating, gassiness, or stomach/bowel discomfort, it is possible that you are simply not gassy enough at the moment. Try drinking carbonated soda, and see if you are able to burp afterward.
