Many of the Greek city-states didn't have walls, particularly in Asia Minor - it was a matter of whether they had anything worth looting, were capable of defending themselves anyway and whether they could rely on their Persian overlords to protect them. Sparta's reason was firstly that it was a collection of villages, and a wall around the lot would have been impracticable. So they decided theat, rather than have one village walled as a citadel, to rely on being able to defeat an invader (or their serfs, or their non-citizen freemen living in the countryside) by fighting in the open and in the village streets - as they said, their warriors were their walls.
