I have been working out for 6 weeks now. I work out till muscle failure but have no pain or burn after my work out. What am I doing wrong?

The delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) that people feel after a workout (normally 24-36 hrs after a workout) is not a necessity for weight training. Your body could have very good recovery mechanisms and the inflammation associated with the pain after workouts may be less for you. Which is a good thing by the way. The faster you recover, the faster you can retrain those muscles to continue size gains. Of course, everyone and every program is different and it could have something to do with that.
