Probably because the query isn't tied to a Look or a dashboard, for example if the query was run from an explore page.

There are some cases where look/dashboard ids won't show up even if the query is from a look or dashboard. API queries from looks and dashboards will show up with Source = API 3.0 and will not have a look or dashboard id. Scheduled job queries will show up with two entries in the history table, one with Source = Scheduled Task and one with Source = Saved Look, but neither one will show the look id.

Question, if the source is filtered by Dashboard and the title and id both return as null, would that indicate that the query is from an explore page and not a saved Dashboard?
