So many people get the misconception that Azula's blue firebending makes her like extremely powerful or something. Her fire is blue simply because the flames that she produces are hotter than regular red or yellow flames. You can prove this by watching any of her battles with Katara. Her fire completely turns the water into steam because of the heat. Azula is a firebending prodigy, so she was born an advanced firebender. It is indeed a mystery how we haven't seen other advance firebenders like Jeong Jeong, Iroh, or Ozai use blue flames though. I think the creators wanted only her to have it to give her a more unique character, but just understand that there are many firebenders that can produces blue flames, not just Azula.
