Creatures w/ the Bestow ability are either creature spells or aura spells (thus, non-creature) depending on whether or not you paid the regular mana cost or the Bestow cost. Spells and permanents cannot be both creatures and non-creatures simultaneously, so casting it as an aura negates it being otherwise a creature spell as it is being cast.
This is pretty much the long version of what Kirtanei said.

To clear up the last sentence of bill's explanation: While "Spells and permanents cannot be both creatures and non-creatures simultaneously," this is technically correct but it is because being a creature no matter its other types makes it a creature spell. "So casting it as an aura negates it being otherwise a creature spell as it is being cast." The reason it isn't a creature spell when bestowed is that a creature can not be attached to another creature, so when cast for its bestow cost the card loses the type creature and is therefore no longer a creature spell.

Yes, it will Trigger.
When casting a card for its Bestow cost it's an Aura spell, and thus it's a non-creature spell.
