«¿Why some interrogative sentences don’t need an auxiliary verb?» is not a correct question.
If you have a subject, the order in present simple is:
[QUESTION WORD] [DO] [SUBJECT] [VERB]
«Why do some interrogative sentences not need an auxiliary verb?»
Perhaps you could take out the ¿, too
Now, for the other type of question. The rule is: no subject, no auxiliary. It’s in questions when you are asking someone to define what or who for you.
Who knows?What happened?
Who killed JFK?

When the (wh-) is the subject, there is no inversion. The word order is like a statement.
Who (subject) can give me a help? = no inversion
What happens next ( what= subject) = no inversion or auxiliary?
Which biscuits taste the best? = which biscuits= subject, no inversion or auxiliary
How many people know the secret? subject how many people, no inversion or auxiliary
Who saw the detective? = Who subject no auxiliary,no inversion
who did the detective see? = who = object ‘a quién’ auxiliary yes.
Who invited you to the party? (Who = subject) no auxiliary.
who did you invite? (who, object a quién/es, auxiliary yes.

does he go to the party?; he went to the party
did he go to the party?). Whether we use inversion or add «do» auxiliary, the result is what’s called the canonical or basic question format: will he go to the party? does he go to the party? Often, we break away from the basic order for a particular rhetorical effect. We can say, for example, he will go to the party? and he does go to the party? to express surprise or to seek confirmation of what was said. Another type of question is what’s called content or open questions, which seek information rather than yes/no answers. These are formed with interrogative pronouns (who, what, when, etc.,) and the adverb «how». When these «wh-words» (and «how») function as subject of the main verb, the main verb remains in its inflected form, thus marking grammatical time: what happened at the party yesterday? what happens at the party? This is the basic format, but we can also add the auxiliary «do» for a rhetorical effect and say what did happen at the party yesterday? or what does happen at the party? to express, for example, emphasis.
