XL can not display negative times/dates. You could "cheat" and do something
like:
=IF(B1<A1,"-","")&TEXT(B1-A1,"h:mm")&" hrs"

Hi

You can have negative times if you switch to the 1904 Date system, but
beware of any other dates you may have on the sheet altering.

Alternatively, if you can accept decimal times then
=(A1-B1)*24
Format the cell as General.
