Install blender from the terminal by using this command

sudo aptitude install blender

then you should be able to see blender in Applications > Graphics menu

No need to install. Download the tar.bz2 from the blender website; extract, go to the extracted folder and double click the blender executable.

If you install it through that
sudo aptitude install blender
command already suggested, it will set it up and integrate it into Ubuntu, what is likely, is there's a missing program that runs underneath blender, installing it through the repository will find anything missing and install that as well.

The other option is to go into the terminal then type
cd /directory/you/extracted/blender/to
chmod a+x ./blenderexecutable
./blenderexecutable

Replace the directory and executable file with the right names, and that will fix what is possibly the problem, if it doesn't run, it will print an error in the command line, copy and paste that here.
