I have used CONTACT 173 and TARGET 170 element. The shear bond strength of brick-mortar is 0.005 MPa, coefficient of friction for bed joint is 1.2 and head joint is 0.85. Does it works if i use ''bonded always'' contact pair?

In ABAQUS, you can use cohesive element or contact to simulate the brick and mortar interaction.

in ANSYS you can try interface elements to model debonding or adhesive failure, conveniently.

As said before, you can use cohesive element or cohesive contact to create the brick mortar interface. However with the shear bond strength of 0.005 MPa, the coefficient of friction should be less than you specified.
