   What is the name of the custom taxonomy you registered?

   Try it with a "tax_query": https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/WP_Query#Taxonomy_Parameters

   example [untested]:
   

   <?php
   $args = array(
     'post_type'   => 'sample_content',
     'tax_query' => array(
   		array(
   			'taxonomy' => 'taxonomy_name',
   			'field' => 'slug',
   			'terms' => 'bannertop'
   		)
   	)
   );
   query_posts($args);
   ?>

   Change "taxonomy_name" to the taxonomy name you registered.

   If you want to query a specific post you can just use:
   

   <?php query_posts('post_type=sample_content&name=calendar'); ?>

   or
   

   <?php
   $args = array(
     'post_type'   => 'sample_content',
     'name' => 'calendar',
     'tax_query' => array(
   		array(
   			'taxonomy' => 'site-categories',
   			'field' => 'slug',
   			'terms' => 'bannertop'
   		)
   	)
   );
   query_posts($args);
   ?>
