Try this:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.html

Basically, those two RewriteCond tell apache to rewrite the URL only if the requested file (-f) or directory (-d) doesn't exists (the ! serves as a negation).

Alternatively, if you need it just for robots.txt you can use something like:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/robots.txt$

instead of the two RewriteCond above.
