You want to do something like this:

normal text {\fontspec{Zapfino} different text} normal text.

Most things in LaTeX are scoped by braces. If you will be using the  
"other font" many times, then it would be better to write

\newfontfamily\otherfont{Zapfino}
...
normal text {\otherfont different text} normal text.

Then you can change every single one by editing the \otherfont  
definition rather than a possibly error-prone search/replace.
