Not all metals are magnetic; for example, graphite and aluminum. Additionally, a non-metal may be a magnet; for instance, O2, or oxygen gas, is paramagnetic.

Why is a dewar flask nonmagnetic?

It is made of glass and silver plate which are nonmagnetic. The plate on the glass could also be aluminum but still not affected much by an external magnetic field. As long as the flask has no iron, nickel, or cobalt (ferromagnetic elements) it would be called nonmagnetic. Note all materials are affected by a magnetic field, but it is very much a subtle effect for most things we call nonmagnetic.
