I don't understand this at all and to be truly honest, in my experience it has happened more times with women than men.
I went downstairs to our break room where a beautiful young women was at the drink machine. I smile and greet her by saying "Hey, how are you?". What does she do? Looks at me and then walks away. I wanted to ask her if she spoke english but decided that wouldn't have been a good idea.
When someone greets you, do you greet them back? Why wouldn't you greet someone back?

I always do. But then, I'm from the South
I have encountered people though, when in certain parts of the country, who look suspiciously upon an unsolicited greeting.
It seems strange to me and I always look at it as "their" problem, not mine.
Either that, or they might have tiny little ear buds in listening to music and they just didn't hear me, lol!

Where I live there is high crime. People are hesitant.
However, this situation would merit an exchange of, "Good...thanks."
I liked the do you speak English. That would have stuck in her mind all day. Maybe even a chuckle when she returned back to her work area.
I give such people one more chance, and then I ignore them. I will always acknowledge a greeting as it's only polite (with rare exceptions). Next time she's around and someone else you know comes by, be sure to greet them and engage in conversation, excluding the rude person. Perhaps they need an example of how it's done, or perhaps they're just too stuck up to acknowledge anyone they consider beneath them.

Maybe she didn't want to give you an honest answer.
Sometimes that means well but most of the time most people don't give a damn about how you are doing. Makes me wonder why anyone would ask this, unless you knew that person and he/she wasn't feeling well the last time you saw them.
I do not like that question. But if asked most of the time I dodge it and say something else rather than answer.
Agree with Disenter. If I'm having a bad day or awful pms I may not be willing to do it back. But other times I am very friendly. I look like fat Mrs. Clause. People see the rosey cheeks and think I'm approachable. Lol
