Actually, no. Whether a neutron star appears as pulsar or not is literally a matter of perspective. The "pulsing" are two very confined beams of light emanating from the magnetic poles of a fastly rotating neutron star. If you aren't in the right position so that these beams could sweep across you, you won't see any pulsing. Current consensus among astrophysicist is that virtually every neutron star is a pulsar – we just don't see it because the beams don't hit us.
