Internal and external divisions (Al-Andalus was only a province in the wider Almohad Caliphate) made it vulnerable to Christian invasion, and a member of the royal family/local governor decided to ally with Christians to get his way. Basically ye olde "I will invite foreign powers to help me in this civil war. There is no way this could ever go wrong".
