Flaps are rarely "needed". Flaps are useful on an approach to give you a lower stall speed and a lower nose attitude, allowing for a slower touchdown and better forward visibility. It is normal to use some flap for landing but many people occasionally practise flapless landings in light aircraft, which may be what happened to the OP.
