Absolutely!

Here are some non-blues blues songs.

Blue Skies
Rhapsody in Blue
Blues for Allah
My Blue Heaven

Then there's those old rock bands disguised as
blues bands: 

Blues Magoos
Moody Blues
Blue Oyster Cult

Accounted for some disapointing LP purchses in my
youth... thinking I was gonna get some blues.
