Since the hypotenuse (denominator) is always greater than the opposite or adjacent side (numerator), the ratio will always be smaller than one.

Is it is necessary to be a right angle triangle to use sine rule?

No. Sine rule (and cosine rule) apply to all triangles in Euclidean space (plane geometry). A simplification occurs when there is a right angle because the sine of the right angle is 1 and the cosine is 0. Thus you get Pythagoras theorem for right triangles.
