Well, you're not MIXING them, you're REACTING them, which is completely different. They are non-transparent because they are impure substances with a high surface area - when melted together they become something different, a glass.

It's the actionof heat that helps this change with glass - though lead used to be added to increase the clarity. Molecules changing - sand and glass will have a different chemical formula?
Good question.
