I believe it is the default behavior of Grub2 in Ubuntu. i.e. It does not
show the grub menu when you do not have a dual boot setup.

   - *On a new install of Ubuntu 9.10 with no other installed operating
   system, GRUB 2 will boot directly to the login prompt or Desktop. No menu
   will be displayed.*
   - *Hold down SHIFT to display the menu during boot (formerly ESC in GRUB
   legacy).*


*The second link above has a lot of information on how Grub2 works and
differs from Grub (Legacy)*

*Check out this ubuntuforums link as well for more information :*
