Take another look. Do the rollers roll on top, or are they in fact within the top rail and have come out. Many inexpensive styles have flimsy metal tracks which easily deform, allowing the 'wheels' to pop out.

RE:
How do I rehang plain sliding closet doors. The plastic rollers won't hang on the top track?

You can take a stick candle (the tall skinny type) and rub some of the wax inside the track. It should glide smoother on the wax. Also, use a paper towel and wipe out the vegetable oil first. The person who advised to check and adjust the top has a good idea, but I had a set of by-fold doors from the 1950s that didn't have adjustments on the top like the newer ones do. You can also check the sliders at the bottom of the door and see if they are worn. You can get replacement parts at most home improvement stores like Home Depot or Lowes or Ace.

They can be a real pain to hang. You have to hold the door at an angle to the track. The rollers will pop into the track if you hold the door at an angle. If you have a friend that can help hold the door while you position the rollers, that would help.

You can buy replacement hardware, tracks and rollers and put them on. You usually have to lift the door a little to get the roller above the track and then let it set into the track.

this happened at my old house... if the rollers are damaged they will just keep falling off.
