THE MAIN REASON IS CARBON
Saturated hydrocarbons contain less carbon content so there is a complete combustion of these compounds and hence, these compounds burn with a blue flame
In case of unsaturated hydrocarbons, due to their high carbon content and low hydrogen content, there is incomplete combustion.
