Of course it happens -- you see the seeds in the bananas, right? The "gotcha" is the temperature, humidity, soil, Ph, etc., conditions all have to be just right.
Also, most of the standard bananas Americans eat are the Cavendish banana. This is a sub-species of banana that has been bred and re-bred and is now wildly susceptible to disease. There is a HUGE problem in that large percentages of Cavendish bananas die due to disease. So that may be a factor in your not being able to grow them.
