While what gazy said is true, it doesn't really answer the question. TCP/IP is a platform of sending data between computers, and is the most common protocol suite on the internet. SIP is a protocol that operates on top of the TCP/IP protocols, using TCP port 5060 (as a default, anyway). Don't confuse the IP in both TCP/IP and SIP...the IP in TCP/IP stands for Internet Protocol (TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol) and SIP stands for Session Initiated Protocol. They both do different things

SIP -Session Initiation Protocol. It is 3GPP signaling protocol and permanent element of the IMS architecture. It is one of the leading signaling protocols for Voice over IP, along with H.323.
TCP/IP
IP - is responsible for moving packet of data from node to node. IP forwards each packet based on a four byte destination address (the IP number). The Internet authorities assign ranges of numbers to different organizations. The organizations assign groups of their numbers to departments. IP operates on gateway machines that move data from department to organization to region and then around the world.
TCP - is responsible for verifying the correct delivery of data from client to server. Data can be lost in the intermediate network. TCP adds support to detect errors or lost data and to trigger retransmission until the data is correctly and completely received.
