The bonds are non-polar.. but if you do an electron-dot diagram you can confirm to yourself that it does infact have a polar side.

H\

H-P:

H/

As you can see the P has a 1 lone pair of electrons making that 'side' polar. Even though the electronegativity between the bonds of H-P is non polar, overall it is because of the lone pair.
