I don't know for sure but my guess would be because of the differing electronegativity values of chlorine and hydrogen.

well thats what i thought initially. chlorine is much more electronegative than hydrogen.. but maybe it has something to do with the geometric structure?

Well it's polar because it's asymmetrical. With dihydro isn't it symmetrical and thus nonpolar? Eh, it's benzene so then again I dont know for sure.  :-\
