You've got the bolt cross-threaded and have mangled the threads a little. Try backing the bolt out all the way and keep turning it counter-clockwise with a little pressure until you feel the bolt click in a little. That's your sign that you've got the threads lined up right and you can start the bolt (turning it by hand) until you've got it most of the way in. Then finish tightening it with a wrench.
If that doesn't work you can try straightening out the threads by running the bolt through from the opposite side.
