It has to do with the type of bonding. NaCl consists of Na and Cl, held together by a certain bond. One hydrogen molecule consists of two atoms held together by a much stronger bond. A stronger bond requires much more energy (thus higher melting) to break. Ask your chemistry teacher for the specific types of bonds.
