Firstly, a mistake in the question: the far side of the moon is not necessarily dark. consider the stages of the moon cycle: the half moon means that half of the far side is in light.
Never mind that though; The movement of the tides has an effect on the spin of the moon, as well as the position of the moon having an effect on the tides. Their movement and therefore variances of depth and mass distribution, have slowed the spin of the moon so that it spins at the same speed that it takes for it to travel around earth. this means that the same side is always facing the sun and so is always lit.
p.s.
this is quite irrelevant but it is not exactly half of the moon we see at any one time. it is 43%, because of the fact we are so far away. i would send you a picture but it doesn't work like that here
