SiCl4 is ionic bond where as CCl4 is a covalent bond.
Ionic bond react with water where as covalent bond reacts with non-polar solvents.

see my dear
here electronegativity difference between cl ,c is less than the difference between si,cl the bonds in ccl4 are having covalent character As water is unable to break covalent bond only sicl4 is hydrolized
