So in that sense, it's really a nun kefufa.  Thus, when it fails to receive a sheva, that's because it really is a end-nun, and last letters do not usually receive any sheva unless it is penultimate letter is a sheva as well, whether noun or verb, e.g. kosht, va-shavt.

There's "kiren lo veyochal lachem", which has no sheva either.
But that's an exception.
