Calibre uses the isbn to find metadata. If you give it an isbn, it will use that and only that. Kovid suggested you not give it the isbn so it will use author/title. Many books that have the same author/title have multiple different isbns.

I deleted the isbn key from the access key box and clicked on "fetch" but it still found nothing.
Try using only the author's last name with your title, or only the most significant word in the title with your author, or simplifying both author/title.

Perhaps there just isn't anything "out there" for the book!
That's quite possible, but you won't know unless you try some broader searches.
