That is usually a problem with the Flame Failure thermocouple/system. Replace the thermocouple if possible, they are cheap and usually easy to fit. They usually have a life of only a few years. If that does not solve the problem, turn up the control on the pilot light a little, and make sure that it plays directly on the thermocouple.
