The Heartache "melody" is simply a leitmotif that is shared between the two. Its not solely part of Toriel's theme just because you hear hers first.

Its played because they were both together at some point. The fact that their themes reflect this same leitmotif means that they are still connected in some way. Remember, both are incredibly sad and lonely, both don't want to fight you and mean well in their intentions, both hate themselves for what they have done to each other, and they are both tied by the same sins.
