Why do White Walkers ignore Sam?

White Walkers spared Sam Tarly because he posed no threat and they wanted him to spread fear and a warning about their army, similar to how they spared Will in the prologue; they saw him as a weak messenger, overlooking his hidden knowledge (like dragonglass) which ironically became their undoing.
