Not doing what? Do (in Mathematica, not other languages) produces no 
output! For example:

In[6]:=
a=3;

In[7]:=
Do[a,{20}]

You can use Do to produce side-effects, as in:

In[8]:=
Do[Print[a],{20}]

If you want output use Table.

In fact

Flatten[Table[{{a[[i]],b[[i]]}},{i,3}],1] is another way o get your 
output, but of course Transpose[a,b] is much nicer.
