C makefile produce only 1 out file instead of 2

I have the files bar.c & foo.c in the same folder.

And I have the following makefile:

foo: foo.c
     gcc -o foo foo.c

all: clean foo bar

bar: bar.c
     gcc -o bar bar.c

clean:
     rm -rf bar foo

The output is foo only, and the question is why? What's the difference between foo & bar?

I assume you run it as make. By default make processes first target in the makefile, which is "foo". Place target "all" first, and you'll get both "foo" and "bar". Another way is to explicitly specify target, i.e. run make all instead of just make.
