The Constitution doesn't give the House of Representatives any power to control what the Senate does. So if the senators don't want to discuss a House bill they don't have to. The Constitution does give the Senate the power to set its own procedure, and if the Senate has chosen to do outrageous things like allow invisible filibusters then the only things you can do about it are to vote for a Senate candidate who is against dodgy Senate procedure or to campaign for a Constitutional Amendment to impose sensible procedures on the Senate.
How can a member of the senate delay the vote on a bill?
Senators are allowed to speak for or against a bill and a vote can not be taken until the everyone has had a reasonable opportunity to speak. However, there is a tactic known as the filibuster in which a senator or a group of Senators speak for no purpose except to delay a vote on the bill. The Senate can vote to end debate but this action currently required a 60% majority , so unless 60% of the senators want to end debate and get a vote, the debate can go on until the bill is withdrawn without a vote and the bill dies .
