You can't predict when Googlebot goes to your site for indexing.

Googlebot follows links it finds over the Internet and it can find a link to your site (and goes to your new article) right away after publishing. Googlebot may also be not going to your site for several hours, days, etc. It's the way Googlebot works.

To optimize a quick indexing, you can:


put a lot of links to your site (or to your new article) over the Internet (on crawlable places)
often publish content on your site
submit new URLs through a sitemap to your Google Webmaster Tools account
ping Google for indexing a new URL
