No. The only people who need machine-readable passports are people going to the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) for short trips for business or tourism as of October 26, 2004. If you are traveling to the U.S. as an LPR, then you are not traveling under the VWP and you do not need a machine-readable passport.
