It is my understanding that muscles really only get sore when you start to use muscles that haven't been worked before. If you've already been working these muscles, then you probably won't feel the soreness. If you change exercises, slightly different muscles may get used - hence the soreness.

I wouldn't use it as a gauge, once your working out regularly, especially if you're basically doing the same routine, but just increasing weights.
