"Ce n'est pas un problème" ?

In one of the test the question is:

"Désolé, j'ai oublié mon argent. - Oh, ________." Sorry, I forgot my money. -Oh, it's not a problem.

The correct answer given was «Ça ne fait rien.» 

Why couldn't i say "Ce n'est pas un problème" ?

Hi Jub,

You will use

'Ça ne fait rien '

for

It doesn't matter / It's not a big deal 

or even -

Ce n'est pas grave 

rather than 'ce n'est pas un problème'.

Expressions using the word 'problème' include -

Pas de problème!  Sans problème! = No problem! 

or 

Ce n'est pas mon problème It is not my problem

Hope this helps!

You can, of course, say one of a hundred replies that would all be right. It's just that the lesson is about the particular phrase ça ne fait rien. So you're supposed to train that phrase.
