Mesembryanthemum, and a lot of mesembs, have a very wide flowering season. This one can bloom anytime between the early spring and the fall. It could simply be that it's not quite ready to flower yet, especially since it seems to be thriving in your planters. However, there are three tips that may help encourage it to do so.
1) More light. These plants definitely stretch the meaning of "partial sun" to its max. If it catches a little late morning sun, as well as the sun it already gets, that may push it over the edge to blooming.
2) Cut back on the water. Drought can encourage plants to bloom and mild cases of overwatering can discourage succulents from doing so, even if other symptoms of overwatering are not visible.
3) Stop feeding. Fertilization can prevent blooming.
In short, stress it out a little. That stress can encourage it to bloom. Good luck!
