For simplicity, assume two solid blocks of the same material. Molecules in the hotter substance move faster on average; they will bounce against the molecules in the colder substance, transferring part of their energy. Energy is also transferred through bounces from the cold substance to the hot substance - but on average, more energy will be transferred from the hot to the cold substance, simply because on average, the molecules move faster.
