Katara was a water bender and Sokka was not. Easy, the trait could be resessive. A resessive trait can requires both parents to have a part of the trait. Kya and Hakoda might not have been benders but if they had benders in thier bloodline than they could both have had the trait but it would not manifest since the non-bending gene is the Dominant trait. Both Kya and Hakoda would have had to have the trait if niether was a bender, then that would make producing a child with bending abilities 50/50, since the genes are in pairs both parents would have the Dominant Non-bender, and resessive Bender trait. just like two parents with brown eyes producing a blue eyed child.
