If the flush is all you care about, you need approximately 15:1 to make your preflop call correct.

Way over-simplified. When you flop no draw you get away cheaply. It's like you have two stages of implied odds. First you only continue past the flop when you get something worth playing. Second you get extra bets when you make your hand that you don't have to pay when you miss.
In addition to the flush, you are also very likely to win when the board contains A2, 22, AA, 345, and it's still somewhat possible to win or split with a lone A. You can also flop one type of draw and then back door your way into one of the other winning situations.
Finally there are those rare situations where you win a huge pot - flush over flush, flush vs. set, etc.
