Because this is the vocative case which does not take an article. The vocative is used to call someone, so when you address someone saying 'hey you', that 'you' is in vocative.
Here, Eleni is not sorry herself (that would be the nominative η Ελένη), you're not sorry for her (accusative, την Ελένη), it's not about something that is Eleni's (της Ελένης), so we're left with the vocative (_ Ελένη!).
