I would think you would hear the click. If the battery ends are the type that have a bolted strap that mashes the cable between, take it apart, clean with wire brush/sandpaper thoroughly, grease and reassemble. A friend had his car towed when this was the only problem. A simple roadside fix.
Also remove, clean, grease the cable end on the starter. While these draw much less current than a Ford starter, a little corrosion can be a problem.
The only other thing I can think of is put a test light on the solenoid terminal to see if it lights when nothing happens. If it does, suspect the starter or connection on the starter. If not, could be ignition switch, or something with connection between switch and starter. Also carefully check any crimped spades or eyelets for cleanliness on the terminal, or breakage where it is crimped.
