It is said he created the village with his unique Mokuton abilities and for that was granted the title of First Hokage. I'm assuming that the Mokuton was only exclusive to Hashirama at the time...

Most ninja have a natural affinity to only one type of chakra. The Mokuton combines earth and water-based chakra to create wood. It's likely the Senju Clan were affined to these two types. However, the First might've been unique enough, to wield both chakras effectively and had a natural affinity to both types and not just one. Meaning he was a master at both, and his skills and feats speak for itself. Most likely his brother, the Second Hokage, just had mastery over water jutsu and not earth, which would explain why he doesn't use Mokuton.

So basically, I'd say The First was just a unique individual that had the potential ability to master both elemental styles. Stuff like this depends more on luck than hereditariness, Tsunade just wasn't lucky enough to be gifted with it, IMO.
