thank you guys!

first i want to tell you that i use processwire 2.4 version (because my server run on php 5.3)

hi Macrura,

no i dont use robots.txt and i just have enable  this on htaccess  

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]

RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
so it will redirect to www
 
hi cstevensjr,
i just use the original htaccess for version 2.4

In Bing Webmaster Tools, have you submitted a Sitemap for the website in question?

If you are using at least PHP 5.3.8 you can use PW 2.5

i would definitely check with the hoster and see if they are blocking bing; i would also follow @cstevensjr advice and try the sitemap;also try and see if you can specifically set the search domain as www version
