Somewhat you have to give a alternate link to download skype.Use the icon of Skype before your href and give the tool tip as click here to download skype. This is just my suggestion. I dont know how to identify whether they installed skype

According to some threads on stackoverflow, there was at some point a detection method available, but at the skype website there is no trace of it.
However, if skype is not installed, then you will get a popup that you need it.
