why is the tension force of spring conservative and tension force of rope not conservative ??

Depends on the rope - some are stretchy and springy and the energy from extension can be recovered.But, have you ever tried to push a rope.?
 
Mmm I don't think so , so you mean that tension force is conservative when the rope can be recovered and returned to its normal condition right ?
