The term "happy birthday" is not a proper noun. The phrase is actually a shortened version of "I wish you a happy birthday." The word "happy" is an adjective describing the common noun "birthday".

By itself, "Happy birthday." is an exclamation, not a noun. However, when used on greetings, cards, banners, birthday cakes, etc. it is traditional to capitalize both words, "Happy Birthday". Not exactly grammatically correct but cheerful.
