There could be so many reasons. It happened in one of the projects I was managing so I gathered thecwhole team, we did a foshbone diagram and we concluded what factors are the root causes for things like that happening and it was resolved progressively.
Just make sure your meeting objective is clear and it is a productive meeting. I find status meetings to be bot very productive as the status could be verified through many other better and more efficient ways. Saving Changes...
You should find the why.
The meeting doesn't give them information that they have otherwise?
The don't believe they add to the meeting?

Get to understand, make adjustment if required. Saving Changes...
[And how often should we gather to discuss and schedule tasks without harming to the working time?]
Assuming this statement refers to mid-project scheduling, I use asynchronous methods to schedule tasks (collaboration sites, email, tasks) and ask team members to revert in case there's any concern. This is only for tasks which stray from the planned dates.
I set up a meeting only when freezing the activity dates in the project plan (at the end of the planning stage). Here I am less prescriptive and more amenable to feedback for alterations. Saving Changes...
