| If it is true that we are orbiting a black hole there is no particular reason why we would be falling into it. It also is possible that we are spiraling outward or in a stable orbit around it.
There is a common misconception that black holes are like big vacuum cleaners that suck everything into them. That's not really accurate. From the point of view of any object outside of a black hole's event horizon, they are just like any other gravitating body. Their interaction with other matter is in no way different than a star or planet, its just a difference of magnitude. So it is possible to be in a stable orbit around a black hole. And all indications are that we are in such a stable orbit around whatever is at the center of our galaxy.
