Good evening,
"Why do not you come here ?" : seeing this sentence, I think it's better to say "Why don't you come here?"
"Why do you not come here" looks like an indirect interrogative clause.
So I would say both are grammatically correct however the former must be more common.
It's better to wait for another and surely better opinion.
While searching for further explanations, I found this topic about the same question here : Link
Have a nice evening !

Good morning everybody,
about your question concerning the difference between "why do not you and why do you not" the answer is that: why do you not(why don't you) is the correct answer.
Why do not you doesn't exist, it's false.
