Tonks is not a pureblood.  Her father is a muggle.  (She tells Harry 
this when they first meet at the Dursley's; she mentions that her 
muggle father is untidy.  Her mother marrying a muggle is also the 
reason Sirius gives for his mother burning them off the family tree.)
 
Sorry I don't have the page numbers in front of me.

Actually, Ted Tonks is not a muggle.  He's a muggle-born wizard. 
It's mentioned twice (US ed. pp. 50, 113).  You're point is right 
though, Tonks is not pureblood.  Her father might very well have 
dressed her in muggle clothes sometimes as a child, especially if 
they were visiting his parents.
