The difference is in the structure used for sexual reproduction.
Flowering plants use flowers, obviously, that contain the male and female parts. Seeds end up inside fruits, also made by the flowers.
Conifers use cones that contain the male and female parts. Seeds end up inside female cones.
All these plants have alternation of generations.
Nonvascular plants and nonseed vascular plants like ferns and horsetails produce eggs and sperms in the gametophyte generation. They don't make seeds

All flowering plants are classified as angiosperms. All flowers and fruits and fruits. They all undergo sexual reproduction. Angiosperms may be monocots or dicots whereas non-flowering plants have no cotyledons at all. A good example of a non-flowering plant that undergoes sexual reproduction is a conifer.

we call flowering plants broad leaved plants and non-flowering plants conifers. in reality each of them has flowers (male and female). in conifers these flowers are different (male and female flowers are usually small conelets, when inseminated female flowers grow bigger to different sizes and develop fruits).
in broad leaved plants male and female parts are in the same flower.
mostly you can differentiate them from leaves. needle-like and parallel leaved species are usually conifers. (but there are exceptions. such as: a broad leaved specie ginkgo is a conifer. )

Also, tracheids are the ony conducting vessels in non-flowering plants, while both tracheids and vessels are the conducting vessels in flowering plants.
