The tomato plant will not produce any fruit without pollination .
If you see flowering blooms , you might have to hand pollinate with a small delicate painters brush when there are no bees or flies arround.
If no blooms , the problem could be inadequate soil fertilization/ nutrients , or inadequate sunlight.

Depends on the variety, but most tomatoes have flowers that will pollinate themselves with the least bit of jostling.
