Error when installing Python requirements in Azure Devops pipeline

I am trying to run a Data Pipelin in Azure Devops with the following YAML definition

This is requirements.txt file:

trigger: none

schedules:
  - cron: "0 0 * * *"
    displayName: "Daily midnight data pipeline run"
    branches:
      include:
      - master
    always: true

name: 'data_pipeline'
jobs:
  - job: 'data_pipeline_job'
    pool:
      vmImage: 'ubuntu-16.04'
    variables:
      - group: KeyVault
      - group: ProductionEnvVars
    steps:
      - task: UsePythonVersion@0
        inputs:
          versionSpec: '3.9.0'
          architecture: 'x64'
    
      - script: |
          python -m pip install --upgrade pip
          pip install -r requirements.txt
        displayName: 'Install requirements'
    
      - script: |
          python src/my_custom_package/create_data.py
        displayName: 'Create and Register Data'
        env:
          STORAGE_ACCT_NAME: $(StorageAccountName)
          STORAGE_ACCT_KEY: $(StorageAccountKey)
          TENANT_ID: $(TenantID)
          SPN_ID: $(SpnID)
          SPN_PASSWORD: $(SpnPassword)
          AML_WORKSPACE_NAME: $(AmlWorkspaceName)
          RESOURCE_GROUP: $(ResourceGroup)
          SUBSCRIPTION_ID: $(SubscriptionID)

However after some successful prerequisites installs then I start getting these errors

 Using legacy 'setup.py install' for numpy, since package 'wheel' is not installed.
