Make sure your headers are complete:

$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n";
$headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n";
$headers .= "From: aaa.bbb <[email protected]>\n";
$headers .= "X-Mailer: PHP's mail() Function\n";
mail("[email protected]", "subject","message",$headers);

And if you are on shared hosting, it might be that there's a blacklisted spammer on your ip.

The best suggestion I can probably make is to try a different way of sending your emails. For example phpmailer or Swift Mailer.

We can only give you an exact answer if you give us the headers of the mail in your spam folder, but I think that it's because you are sending from a computer that has an IP in an IP range that contains consumer internet connections. Email from consumer computers usually is spam.
