That doesn't work because you are looking for two arguments yet
only providing one argument, a list with two elements. Change it to:
Sound[melody[#1[[1]], #1[[2]]] & /@ {{0, 1}, {5, 0.5}, {7, 0.5},
{12, 1}}, {0,
3}, SoundVolume -> .5]
or
Sound[melody[#1, #2] & @@@ {{0, 1}, {5, 0.5}, {7, 0.5}, {12,
1}}, {0,
3}, SoundVolume -> .5]
and you will get the result you want.
