If you hear a click every time, then the primary circuit for the solenoid should be working (battery to solenoid, solenoid to starter switch, starter switch to ground and through ground back to the battery). The internal contacts for the secondary circuit in the solenoid may be dirty or not making proper contact all of the time, but it may be the brushes in the starter itself are worn or dirty, or it could be a loose or dirty connection somewhere in the circuit.
I would start with the wiring connections. Make sure that both ends of both battery cables are clean, bright and tight, and the same for the cable from the solenoid to the starter. If the problem remains after making sure that all of your electrical connections are clean and tight, then try jumping from the battery directly to the starter. Does the starter operate every time you jump it? If not then the problem is in the starter. If so, then the problem is most likely in the solenoid. But it could still be a problem with a bad wire somewhere that's not visibly bad on the outside but might have a corroded or broken conductor inside the insulation.
