Even fast fuses don’t respond immediately after the rated current is reached. Most fuses require a significant over current to fire almost instantly.

What causes a circuit breaker to blow a fuse?

Any faulty wiring or connected parts risk a power fault (surge), which trips a circuit (or blows a fuse). So, again, the problem is not that the circuit breaker (or fuse) didn’t do its job but rather that there was faulty equipment.
