This is because the FAX modem is not in the loop, it is not receiving an active phone line tone/voltage from the normal telephone line and your FAX software can not proceed unless the fax modem is active, VoIP phones do not have all the tones and voltages needed to activate a real telephone line modem

If you need to send/receive faxes without a true phone line then you need to go to a web site like "Efax" or some other site like that, or if you need to use a VoIP connection then try looking through the link below.

Now for a word on only using a VoIP phone, and not having a real phone on a real phone line to use.

If the power goes out your without emergency communications, trying to dial 911 on a VoIP phone (or cell phone) in some locations will only get you to the state highway patrol (on a cell phone) or no where on a VoIP phone. (In some cases)

Sometimes other fixes can work too...
