The only thing I can think of is that you either are looking at build
directories which are already configured (you can not change the generator
of an existing build directory and rerunning cmake without -G will not
change the generator currently in use)

or

You aren't invoking CMake yourself and whatever invokes CMake is picking 
the generator for you (might also be the case when you've got CMake 
invoking another CMake instance e.g. in context of an ExternalProject).
