I found a lot of lysis buffer are different in terms of non-denaturing reagents, such as NP-40 AND Triton X-100. But does both of them have different roles? I am wondering...

According to the Sigma product info sheet:
In my hands, NP40 is more stringent than TX100 when used at the same percentages.

Triton X-100tm has a structure very similar to those of Igepal CA-630 and of Nonidet P-40 (no longer commercially available), and the names are sometimes reported as synonyms. However, Triton X-100 is slightly more hydrophilic than Igepal CA-630; these two detergents are NOT considered to be functionally interchangeable in most applications.
