Normally when any reptile refuses to sit on or near the heat its because its too hot, its NOT normal for a chameleon to refuse basking, they are avid avid baskers. Get an accurate thermometer (NOT the ones at the pet store, try wal-mart or home depot)

Is there enough foilage for him to feel safe basking in the area under the light? The more foilage the better. Even if you have to stock up with fake plants from the dollar store.
Have you ever seen him bask?
How long have you had him?
Have you just changed his set up, or moved him to a new cage?
Sorry if my questions are redundant.
