One answer to your question, Kuruharan, ones that's a little tongue in cheek,

is that it's because Tolkien wrote things that way.

For example, he wrote 'Middle-earth', not 'Middle Earth'; so we and other fans who write about him and his works tend to write that title according to the first example, with the dash.

You asked a good question, and Galadriel55 and Andsigil offered some good answers.
