Http uses rxjs and is a cold/lazy observable, meaning that you should subscribe to it to make it work.

this.http.get(`http://swapi.co/api/people/1`)
  .map((response: Response) => {
    console.log(response.json());
    response.json();
  })
  .subscribe();

Or if you want to subscribe from somewhere else, you should return the http.get method like this:

getAllPersons(): Observable  {
  console.log("Here");
  return this.http.get(`http://swapi.co/api/people/1`)
    .map((response: Response) => {
      console.log(response.json());
      return response.json();
    });
}

and then :

getAllPersons().subscribe();
