You are on a MacOS computer? Acobat asks the printers capabilities. If the printer announces to the OS that it can do duplex printing, Acrobat shows the "print on both sides" button. A lot of printers don't advertise that feature, so Acrobat cannot make the changes for you.

You need to go to the printer drivers settings (as indicated by Stephen_A_Marsh ) to change parameters Acrobat isn't aware of. When printing is on duplex by default, that is your printer drivers default setting.
