Check your coolant level (low coolant can keep the heater core from getting hot). Check coolant flow to heater core, by squeezing the heater hoses when engine is running (wear gloves as they can get hot), you should feel some pressure in the hoses. Some vehicles have a solenoid that opens coolant flow to the heater core, check if you have one and it's ok. Finally is all else seems ok, check that your blend door isn't stuck open to the AC coil, this would prevent air from passing across heater core to be warmed up.
