The Eagles' contract didn't cover the kind of flying needed to bring Frodo all the way to Mount Doom, just rescue missions when everything was hopeless. Gandalf had already paid Manwe a considerable amount of money to hire the Eagles just for the purpose of rescue missions and didn't want to have to pay any more, and Manwe had some of the best lawyers in all of Arda, so arguing would prove hopeless.
