Like how there are words say Atheist-one who doesnt believe in god or say alchemist- A practitioner of alchemy.
I am looking for a similar word for one who does not cry---something like inhuman...

A fairly descriptive word you could use is stoic...doesn't mean inhuman, of course, but it is someone who appears to be indifferent to joy, grief, etc.
Dictionary.com has this for a description:
One who is seemingly indifferent to or unaffected by joy, grief, pleasure, or pain.
A couple other words are apathetic and indifferent.

I am not aware of any word that has the specific meaning you are asking about. "Stoic" is somewhat close, but it doesn't refer specifically to crying, it's about a person who doesn't show much emotion in general.

In the good sense -
stoical (adjective)
a stoic (noun)
in the bad sense -
insensitive, hard, cold, stony, unfeeling, icy (adjectives)
I can't think of a noun.

STOLID- example, 'He is a silent stolid creature who took it all as a matter of course.'
POISED, EQUANIMOUS.
