B757-200 captain reports failure of the flaps to move to the selected position during approach with ...

Narrative:

We were on a visual approach to runway 27 and while slowing from 210 to 190; we selected flaps to one and then flaps to 5. We noticed the zipper was not lowering and then noticed the flaps were indicating up. We had no EICAS warning. We accelerated back to 210; and tried to cycle the flaps. Again; flaps did not indicate any movement and no icas warnings. Fuel was at about 7;400 pounds. We asked for radar vectors to the north to troubleshoot and set up for possible approach to [the longest runway]. At this time I noticed we had a status message slat/flap elec. Again; with no EICAS message; I opted to set up for an all flaps up landing. We ran the landing with all flaps up checklist in the QRH. Flew an uneventful flaps up monitored approach to landing without requiring further assistance. When clear of the runway; we checked the brake cooling chart in the QRH before taxiing back to park. [We] landed at 167 KTS at about 163;000 pounds with auto brakes 4.
