In an interactive shell session the shell program waits for the user to type in a command. When receiving a command the shell program will then attempt to locate it and process (execute) the command. You are interacting with the shell. Running a shell file requires a pre-stored series of commands stored in a file. Unless the shell program you are running is interactive then the shell executes each command in sequence, without involving the user at all.
An interactive shell is attached to a console and usually needs to interact with a person to provide answers. etc. A non-interactive shell won't stop execution to ask anyone and can be run unattended by the system. It also doesn't have an associated terminal for output.
