The most likely cause (but not the only one) is that your passphrase is not strong enough. When you generate a key, and enter the passphrase of your choice, gnupg will balk at you if it considers that your passphrase is not strong enough. GnuPG will also output that "...a passphrase should be composed of at least" a given number of characters *that will include different entries like letters, numbers, etc.*. Beware, some punctuation signs are excluded. HTH.
