Mig21 is a delta wing , so why do not use the ailerons like any other delta's ? For lowering the approach and touch down speed. It is not possible that?

The reason to use ailerons as flaperons on delta wings is twofold:
However, there were several considerations against using flaperons on MiG-21:
(*) That said, the contemporary F-104 was reportedly even worse in this regard, without being delta.
I'm no expert on the plane, but wikipedia claims the Mig-21 has separate flaps and ailerons.
On the trailing edge there are ailerons with an area of 1.18 m², and flaps with an area of 1.87 m².
The common reasons for not combining flaps and ailerons are that it reduces aileron response and increases the chance of stalling the wing tip (which results in a violent roll in the direction opposite to what you want).
As the Mig-21 has a separate horizontal tail for pitch control, there's no need to use elevons.
