Why doesn't lava melt the rock around it if it lava usually melts rock?
It takes quite a lot of heat to melt rock, and whatever is melting that rock must loose heat in the process. When molten rock comes out of a volcano, it is closer, in terms of temperature to solidifying than the surrounding rock is to melting. So the lava will cool and harden before the surrounding rock has a chance to melt, especially since the lava is also losing heat to the air. In some cases the surface rock may melt, but in fairly small amounts.
