Each element give off a particular color when heated in a flame. (Some are colorless). Copper gives off a green flame but to do that there must be some copper compound IN the flame. (there are many other elements that also could be causing a green flame).

In fact black body radiation has a small role in the color of the flame: putting in 700nm (for blue) in the equation yields over 3500 degrees celsius while the temperature of a gas stove flame is about 1700. The colors are a result of, as was mentioned in the comments, ionization of gas molecules.
