Fetch and Extract HTML Title from URL

This function takes a URL as an argument, uses the requests library to retrieve the content of the URL, then checks if the content type is HTML. If it is HTML, it uses BeautifulSoup to parse the HTML document and get the title. If it is not HTML, it returns non-HTML content.
