It means he is not an Orthodox Jew, though many non-orthodox Jewish men wear yarmulkes (or kippot) on certain occasions.
There is no Jewish law requiring the wearing of a kippah, but it is a very strongly followed custom.
Answer:
Jewish males cover their heads with a kippa and/or a hat, as a reminder of the presence of God. Not wearing a kippah (yarmulkah) would be seen as a mark of impertinence.
This practice is twice mentioned emphatically in the Talmud (Shabbat 156b; Kallah 1:16), in statements dating back 1700 and 1850 years, respectively. Even then, covering one's head is spoken of as an established practice, not something new.
