The second one sounds more natural. If you want a more forma varriant: "Not everyone is capable of doing so; not due to a lack of time, but to a lack of funds." I hope this helps.

Grammatically, it's fine to say "not because of their not having enough time," but it does seem quite formal, and also unnecessarily wordy. It would work in a formal context, like a collage essay. "Not everybody can do that, not because of their not having enough time, but because of their not having enough money."
