Taurus won't start

I have a 1997 Taurus with a 1999 Sable Engine (car milage 185000, engine milage, 70000).

When I turn the key, the car won't always start. The engine doesn't struggle, the lights and radio turn on, and it doesn't make any odd noises otherwise. One the car does start, I don't have any problems. I tried replacing the battery, thinking that it was a problem with a bad battery, but it's doing the same thing.

Help? Please?

Does the engine crank over?

Nope. When it does, it starts right up.
