    The answer to this question would be because phospholipid is polar has a charge.

    Since phospholipid is polar, it can attract molecule with a charge. That will cause the molecule cant move easily pass the membrane. The hydrophobic molecule doesn't have charge, so the molecule can pass through the phospholipid membrane if it small enough.
