Solution

After throwing on to the wall, tennis ball can easily bounce back since it has less mass and influenced by less gravitational force.

But, iron ball has more. So, it experience more gravitational force than the force applied by the wall. Due to the domination of gravitational force, the iron falls down rather than bouncing back in horizontal direction.
