I personally hate developing when I don't have much control over the project or when I don't see any return. Maybe you should see if he is happy with how the project is going. Does he agree with the decisions being made so far?

Don't be too controlling over his work either. Ask him what he thinks he needs to be working on and let him do it, let him come up with the solutions to problems. I hate it when I am told, 'work on this', then when I finish it I'm told, 'no make it more like this'. Most the time I know more about what is needed so just let me do my job. If you have a suggestion fine but make sure it's just a suggestion.

If you can't resolve the issue you should probably find another programmer. Try to find one who is passionate and really wants to work with you on this project. You're just going to be wasting your money and time otherwise.
