The Earth and the moon experience equal gravitational forces from each other. However, the mass of the Earth is much larger than the mass of the moon. Hence, it's acceleration towards the moon is much smaller than the acceleration of the moon towards the Earth. For this reason, the Earth does not come towards the moon.
