On my loofah vine, why are the female flowers blooming before the male flowers?

I'm growing a loofah plant (of the cucurbit family), and normally the male flowers should bloom first. My vine has a good 50 or more male flower buds, but none have bloomed; I only have 12 female flower buds and so far 3 have bloomed (one each day for the past three days). Why is it doing this? Is there something wrong with the soil? I've had good weather (hot, sunny, and not too rainy). If the plant keeps this up, I'm not going to get any fruit at all! Please help!
For loofahs, the males bloom first. It's extremely rare for the females to bloom before the males.
