It seems to me that you don´t need did when you use how come.

"How come" differs from "why" in that the word order of the question is the same as that of a statement. Compare:
You didn't leave. (statement)
How come you didn't leave?
Why didn't you leave?
You didn't leave. (statement)
How come you didn't leave?
Why didn't you leave?
According to Macmillan Dictionary, 'HOW COME' should be used in spoken language. So, I guess this can be one difference in the use between HOW COME and WHY. But I want to make a deeper research about this and I hope I can add something else here.
Hi guys,
I think Donay got the grammar point right in the first reply. (The need for 'did' is a consequnce of that)
And Maoliveira75 is right about the spoken language `rule`
