As far as I know, that is part of links diversity. It is also important that you have nofollow links to avoid over-optimizing of your site. This is what we do at seoexpertservicesfirm.

Nofollow links are only good for outgoing links, in which it prevented 'link juice' from leaking from the page through these outgoing links.
Nofollow is bad for incoming links because such links impart virtually no search rank benefit.
A fair percentage of incoming links must be Nofollow in order to maintain a natural looking link profile, despite their limited value.

You should have 50-50 or 60-40 combination to have a genuine link profile. If all of your links are created in Do follow way that also suspicious, that means Google is thinking of you as if you are purchasing quality links only to grab Google top slot ranking and links are not third party recommendation and not created in a normal way.

There is no "magic ratio". Some sites have 90% no follow links and they rank well.
You are asking about a small part of the Google algo. Google wants your site to look natural in order to rank. That means a mix of follow and nofollow links is natural but only if it is matched with other natural attributes.
So the best advice is to create content that attracts natural, postive response from users.
