Look for a small switch on the stick. If there is none, it may have just gone bad if you can't format it.

You can try to use a program called gparted http://gparted.org/ to partition and format the drive, that may work. Or possibly a Linux Live disk, create one (look online for instructions), boot from it and see if you can format the disk from Linux.
