You can't force a conversation between characters. You also have to get to know them. Who they are, what they're like. Their personality is what gets the conversation going. You also have to consider the situation they're in. A dialogue moves the story forward, shows the reader what is going on. If you add too much, then you risk boring the reader. If you don't add enough, you can end up with a lot of extra description and perhaps unnecessary inner monologue.
When you write, you have to be the character. You can't be the writer that's watching the scene unfold. It's you who has to do it all in order to write the story successfully.
