The other characters don't hear Ophelia sing ''not,'' only the audience hears it.  She is telling us something that the other play characters do not know: she did not truly love her father, and she is not really in grief over his death.  Powerful social inhibitions prevent her from being open in saying that.  She can only express it in a highly indirect way.
