Thats because of the ()...

  b = Button(text='hi', command=hi)

hi is the function object. hi() executes the function and stores 
the return value in the command option. In your case hi() returns 
'None' so clicking the button executes the empty (none) command.

As to why the title doesn't work, I'm not sure but from memory,
isn't the title set as a function:

root.title('Hi')

rather than by assignment as you have done?
