Most likely you are not running the sshd (ssh daemon). Do a 'ps -ef | grep ssh' and check if you see a process /usr/bin/sshd running. In case it is not running, as root, start the daemon.
sudo /etc/init.d/sshd start.

You may have to install ssh using sudo apt-get install ssh

One more thing to look for is whether you have a firewall running.
