The discrepancy between the PQCD calculation and the CLEO data for $\chi_{c1}\to \gamma V$ ($V=\rho^0,\,\omega,\,\phi$) stimulates our interest in exploring extra mechanism of $\chi_{c1}$ decay. In this work, we apply an important non-perturbative QCD effect, i.e., hadronic loop mechanism, to study $\chi_{c1}\to \gamma V$ radiative decay. Our numerical result shows that the theoretical results including the hadronic loop contribution and the PQCD calculation of $\chi_{c1}\to \gamma V$ are consistent with the corresponding CLEO data of $\chi_{c1}\to \gamma V$. We expect further experimental measurement of $\chi_{c1}\to \gamma V$ at BES-III, which will be helpful to test the hadronic loop effect on $\chi_{c1}$ decay.
