Is there some sort of rule that everybody has to like everybody here? If somebody doesn't wave, or give you a big smile you have to make cookies, or a nice cake or something? How about handing him an envelope full of cash?
If he's throwing stuff on your lawn, bad-mouthing you around the neighborhood, or peeking in your window... you have a problem. Otherwise...
I have nice neighbors on both sides, across the street, and up and down the block. The guy directly across... not so much. Am I concerned? Nope... who cares? Did you like everybody at school, at work, everywhere?
On TOTV a while back a lady was upset that when riding her golf cart she waved to 75 other carts and only a few waved back... Give me a break.

Sharon ... perhaps you remind your neighbor of his ex-wife who cost him millions in a divorce settlement.
Walt ... I have to tell you that I love your response. Some people just like to be left alone. Bringing them cookies and bread probably isn't going to change that. On our street we have one set of "hermit" neighbours. I call them the Kranks. And that is OK, they don't bother anyone, and no-one bothers them!
There are zillions of ways to make friends in TV. The neighborhood pool, block parties, sports, rec centre activities. I say, concentrate on the positive and don't let the kranks get to you.
