By non-secure interrupts I assume you mean configured as non-secure in the GIC configuration.

How is the CP15 Secure Configuration Register configured to route interrupts - if CP15 is configured to route interrupts to the "Non-secure" world, then you will have to have set up an appropriate piece of monitor mode code to perform the world switch (so control can be passed to the non-secure interrupt handler). That said - a non-secure GIC interrupt can still be routed to the secure world in the CPU - the CPU and the GIC are programmed separately.

There is a good guide to TrustZone interrupt handling in the ARM document library:
