You can choose preferred alterative views with the alternative_order
command. By default, Mutt will choose a view from this list. If you
don't give a list, Mutt will choose from whatever types it considers to
be "auto-viewable". That is, a type which has a "copiousoutput" tag in
your .mailcap. If none of these are found, Mutt will choose text/plain,
text/enriched, or text/html, in that order. Beyond that Mutt will
choose whatever it can make sense out of.

It sounds like someone has set up the alternative_order differently on
your system. Here's how mine is set in .muttrc:
alternative_order text/enriched text/plain text/html
