First off:
Sound is not mass, it is an energy.
The reason has to do with resonance.
If the frequency is high enough, it can shatter glass.
The glass vibrates at the same freq. on the outer surface of the glass.
If however it is a lower frequency, the inside of the glass vibrates.

What does this mean?
The frequencies cause interference in the waveforms going through the glass
Therefore stressing the glass causing it to shatter.

How do you make this happen?
for the glass to break, it depends on the resonance frequency.
to figure that out, you must determine mainly the glass' quality itself,
the thickness of the glass, the shape and the temperature.
once you have figured out the resonance frequency of the glass, play the
sound with the resonance frequency and the glass will shatter.

why does this happen?
every glass has a certain resonance frequency, and if you match the sound
with the same frequency, you will shatter the glass.
if you tap a wine glass near your ear, you will hear it sing the frequency.
if you can stimulate a sound with that frequency, you will be able to
shatter the glass.
