If it flowered, it will flower again. However, what we're afraid you're talking about is the red ball part of the cactus. That red ball isn't a flower, it's actually a separate cactus that has been grafted on to the green stalk. If this red ball turned brown it will not sprout another.
Fortunately, the green stem is, likely, Hylocereus undatus which is a gorgeous plant with some of the largest flowers of all the cacti. These flowers open at night and, if pollinated, will produce dragon fruit. A red, scaly fruit with delicious white flesh.
In order to give the H. undatus space to grow, remove the dead moon cactus (the red ball part). Hylocereus undatus likes a little less light so where it's at is good for now. Water it sparingly and eventually it will want something to climb, like a trellis. Good luck!
