To evaluate the transform, start with the function h[t] - Sqrt[l^2];
its product with Sin[p*t] can be integrated as an ordinary function.
After the change of variables t = t/Abs[l] we obtain

Sqrt[2/Pi]*Integrate[(Sqrt[1 + t^2]/t - 1)*Sin[p*t/Abs[l]],
  {t, 0, Infinity}] ==

  Sqrt[2/Pi]*Integrate[1/(t*(Sqrt[1 + t^2] + t))*Sin[p*t/Abs[l]],
    {t, 0, Infinity}]

In[1]:= Sqrt[2/Pi]*Integrate[1/(t*(Sqrt[1 + t^2] + t))*Sin[p*t/Abs[l]],
    {t, 0, Infinity}, Assumptions -> p > 0] +
  FourierSinTransform[Sqrt[l^2], t, p]

Out[1]= (Sqrt[l^2]*Sqrt[2/Pi])/p + MeijerG[{{1/2, 1}, {}}, {{1/2, 1/2},
{-(1/2), 0}}, p^2/(4*Abs[l]^2)]/(2*Sqrt[2*Pi])

In[2]:= % /. {l -> -3.3, p -> 2.2}

Out[2]= 1.7449384

In[3]:= -MeijerG[{{1}, {}}, {{-1/2, 1/2}, {0}}, p^2/(4*l^2)]/
  (2*Sqrt[2*Pi]) /. {l -> -3.3, p -> 2.2}

Out[3]= 1.7449384
