IF what you say is true...
It's a popular belief but, as I say in my comment, has yet to be confirmed by the author/in the next books.
The question is tagged game-of-throne, which is the series tag.
In the series, I don't remember any clear evidence that Jon is not Eddard's son.
When Eddard sees Jon for the last time (when he leaves for King's Landing whereas Jon leaves for the Wall) he says something like "I will tell you everything you want to know about your mother the next time we meet".
So I guess he just didn't plan to die before telling the truth.
If you want a book-based answer, the most likely to be is that Lyanna probably asked Eddard not to tell the truth: she made him make swear something. We do not know what, but probably to claim Jon as his son. See Warwick's answer for details about the reasons for that.
