Nothings wrong. Subs don't need to be stereo as BASS is non-directional.

It probably has to do with the amp you're hooked up to. Some 2 channel amps, when wired in bridged mode, will only use the signal coming into the left channel input. This would mean there's no sound when you adjust the balance to the right. If you're using a bridged 2-channel amp to run the sub box, then that's the most likely reason for what's happening. Since the bass is effectively a mono signal in most music, it's not usually a problem. If you're happy with the sound when the balance is centered, I wouldn't worry about it; there's not much you can do about it except use a different amp.
