I see no ground connection on pin #6, no connection of any kind at all.And no pull-up resistor on the output. If the circuit is not completed it will not work.

You have 3 wires going into the same hole in row 16 of your breadboard. That is bad practice and is likely to distort the contacts in the breadboard and result in a poor connection.

I see why this is not working, try this modification:

In the original circuit with the pullup resistor added and pin 3 connected to ground the reference voltage for the + input goes to ground when the output goes LOW. At this point the capacitor cannot discharge low enough to switch the output back HIGH.
Added R3 to set the reference and R1 now provides hysteresis.
