If you have chosen birth control pills as your form of contraception, you have to take them every single day whether you have sex or not. Doesn't matter if you have sex once a week or once a year. If you want the birth control pills to prevent pregnancy, they must be taken every day.
If you don't take them every day, your ovulation won't be suppressed. You'll produce an egg, the egg could be fertilized, and then you'd be pregnant.
There are other forms of hormonal birth control, like the shot or the ring, and you should discuss those with your doctor if you don't want to take pills every day.

Of course!
Just because you take ONE birth control pill the day you have sex does not mean you are protected, as pills need to be taken for at least a month in order to be fully protected at the 99% effectiveness rate of the pill.
If she only has sex once a week, a condom would be better to use.

the pill will not work if it is not taken every day.

Yes it is regulating your hormones and it needs to be taken daily if you don't want a baby to raise...
