When you double a bridge contract that is not game does it automatically double the contract into game?

Only two hearts or two spades will be doubled into 'game'.
The double just doubles the contract, it does not automatically put it into 'game'. If the bid was 'one', then it is doubled into 'two'.
If the bid was for 'two' it would double into 'four'. That is 'game' for hearts or spades. Four diamonds or four clubs would not be 'game'.
Doubling a two heart or two spade bid should be avoided unless you are very sure of defeating your opponents. If they make the two tricks, you have given them an easy 'game'.

What is the difference between contract bridge and rubber bridge?
Contract Bridge IS regular Bridge. Harold Vanderbilt proposed changes to the then prevalent Auction Bridge in 1925, and his definition was significant enough to warrant a new name. 'Contract Bridge' was appropriate because Vanderbilt's system included rewards for declaring higher level contracts (bids that won the auction) at risk of failure. This new system swept the country and became the only game in town, as far as Bridge goes. There are several forms: rubber, duplicate, Chicago, party, Swiss teams, etc. etc. but they are all based on Vanderbilt's rules without a lot of change.
