Contacts never sync device to device; they sync to one or more email servers. So to get contacts to sync between devices the devices must be logged in to the same email account or accounts. On your phone go to Settings/Contacts/Accounts to see which accounts are enabled for syncing contacts. On your Mac it is in System Settings, Internet Accounts.
