Unlike waterbending masters, Korra relies on a water source to bend water. On the rooftop fight scene, she couldn't waterbend because there's no water to bend.

Hama, Katara and other waterbending masters are the experienced ones who can draw water from thin air and from human sources (bloodbending).

Korra had no choice but to firebend since there's no earth present either.
