With all the planning, discussion, and notification regarding those cruise missile launches bin Laden had time to move away. The missiles themselves can take hours to get on target, and if their air launched you have to give the aircraft time to get to the launch location.

Also the notification might have allowed for leaks that allowed bin Laden to know the missile was coming.
