A few words voted on in Congress do not "make" a war - actions do.

Actions make a fight, which we are certainly in; but it takes an act of Congress to make a war and they have not acted. War is a legal condition, not a physical one.

And the reason war was not declared?

If I remember there were also legal reasons that gave more flexibility to Not declare war. The U.N. authorized the action, the Congress authorized the action and the President has the power to take action.

No war declaration needed.
