If everything is working as you said it's either a gas delivery problem, ignition problem, or thermocouple problem.
I've seen brand new thermocouples take upwards of 10 to 15 tries before they heat up consistently enough to keep a pilot light going. The solution there is to keep trying it repeatedly until it works or you hit the 10 tries mark. If that don't do it, it's probably not a problem.
Gas supply and ignition problem are probably best left up to a qualified repairman rather than an Internet forum.
