EXpense, losses , income, gains are example of nominal accounts

Accounts that represent assets are example of real accounts

Accounts which  represent person or organization are example of personal accounts

so if bill payable is related to fixed assest purchase then it is real account

if bill payable is relate to expense then it is  nominal account

if bill payable is relate to person/ organization then it is personal account.

however ultimately this bill payable is relate to any person or organzation.
