Luke 11:49-52
Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute:
50 That the blood of all the prophets, which was shed from the foundation of the world, may be required of this generation;
51 From the blood of Abel unto the blood of Zacharias which perished between the altar and the temple: verily I say unto you, It shall be required of this generation.
Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.

"Abel was a prefiguring of Jesus as he was the first innocent human to be sacrificed for the Word of God."
via Stephen Arthur Noel DSouza
In Luke 11:51 Abel has been called a prophet. A prophet is one who speaks on behalf of God. So perhaps Abel was given instructions on sacrificial offerings which were shared with Cain. The instructions were to sacrifice an unblemished lamb with the fat. It was to be offered with a pure heart and in obedience to God's commands.

"Would Cain have killed Abel if God didn’t show favoritism for Abel?"
via Jwee Chiek Er
I suspect that favoritism was just a flame picking your sacrifice or not. Stephen Arthur Noel DSouza mentions Abel being a prophet and talking to Cain on what to do. Cain was doing what carnal man does ..reject the spiritual.
