Why do you think Tywin has a target on his head? Who would want to and be in position to kill him?
Tywin Lannister is the most powerful man in all of Westeros, success breeds jealousy. Half the kingdoms want the Lannisters dead, killing Joffrey, Tommen, Jaime, Cersei or Tyrion won't do shit, they're all puppets anyways. Killing Tywin on the other hand is the key to the destruction of the Lannisters/taking over Kings Landing, watch them crumble without their master.

^ Those have always been my thoughts and we heard something similar from Davos and Stanis Baratheon when they talked to that council in the Iron Bank or whatever it was.
Who would want him dead?
- Arya (not in position obviously)
- Dnaeries Targaryan (not yet, but will be in a very good position to kill him when her dragons mature + her huge army)
- Petyr Baelish (the worm that he is could poison him or get some assassin to do so)
- Oberyn (now deceased, but he was in a very good position to do so)
- Any Martell character not yet introduced, possibly an even greater/stronger fighter than Oberyn (an older brother, a father, a younger brother perhaps?)
- The Tyrells, to eliminate the head of the family and successfully be the most powerful/richest family in Westeros
Probably more, but those are the most likely I believe.
Two things I've learned from the series.
- Lannisters just don't die (if we count Joffrey out since he was officially known as Joffrey Baretheon, not Lannister, but even so he's just 1 guy in 4 seasons)
- Every character I love has to die. and Tywin Lannister is the only character left I care for. You could torture the rest of the characters and I wouldn't give two shits anymore to be honest.
