Is a hyphen a problem?

Someone today told me that my site had no links to it which is why it only has a page rank of 5/10 compared to a smaller (same subject matter) site I had found which had a page rank of 7/10.

To find out what links both site had they had entered in the Google search box:

link:cookingforengineers.com
link:hub-uk.com

Cooking for Engineers showed 5,570 links whereas Hub-UK showed none. I know there are a lot of links to Hub-UK (has been going for over six years) and www.ranking.com (don't know how reliable or accurate it is) it tells me that Hub-UK has 4,255 links.

Does this mean that Google is penalising sites that have a hyphen in the domain name?
