Lemon Tree Issues

I was bought a lemon tree in Oct '13 - one of those ready growing delivery jobs. It started on the right track although never managed to get any fruit out of the tree. 

I repotted the tree in early spring '14 and it flourished & bloomed - but again no fruit (despite trying manual pollination). This time however, the leaves started to go bright green & the blooming flowers looked almost 'infected' and started to drop off at a considerable pace. All the leaves fell off and the soil had a mouldy top layer. 

I repotted the plant once again 3mths ago. But the tree has shown no sign of any life. Since then, I have kept the plant in the same spot on a high windowsill where it gets plenty of sunlight. I water once every two weeks max with citrus feed. I have just bought some citrus repotting soil but haven't used it yet.
