My car won't start/turn over sometimes. The power works, and I hear the fuel pump come on, that's it.?

Question

Sometimes when I turn the key, it's doesn't turn over. All the lights come on the dash, and I hear the fuel pump turn on, but it doesn't make any other sound. But after awhile, I try again, and it starts up with no problem. What do you think it is? Please help!

I have a 94 Grand Am GT 3.1 engine v6.
