This is a peculiar Q to ask because if you know about polar molecules you should know a lot more on the same subject. A non polar molecule e.g.benzene can have a temporary dipole induced in it by a nearby polar molecule. e.g. water.
This is probably the reason why water is very slightly soluble in benzene but not in other hydrocarbons.
