Equal temperatures.
Conduction (net heat flow) requires a temperature difference. If two bodies are at the same temperature (thermal equilibrium) there is no net heat conduction between them, though microscopic energy exchanges still occur. Equal or different masses do not by themselves prevent conduction.
