I faced the same problem, tried the first answer but something was missing.

If you guys are using Webpack, your css will be loaded as a style tag which is not supported by respond.js, it needs a file, so make sure bootstrap is loaded as a css file

Personally I used extract-text-webpack-plugin

const webpack = require("webpack")
const ExtractTextPlugin = require("extract-text-webpack-plugin")
const path = require("path")

module.exports = {
    context: __dirname+"/src",
    entry: "./index.js",
    output: {
        filename: "./dist/bundle.js",
        path: __dirname
    },
    plugins: [
        ...,
        new ExtractTextPlugin("./dist/bootstrap.css", {
            allChunks: true
        })
    ],
    module: {
        loaders: [
            ...,
            // your css loader excluding bootstrap
            {
                test: /\.css$/,
                loader: "style!css",
                exclude: [
                    path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css")
                ]
            },

            {
                // loads bootstrap as a file, change path accordingly if needs be, path needs to be absolute
                include: [
                    path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css")
                ],
                loader: ExtractTextPlugin.extract("style-loader", "css-loader?minimize")
            }
        ]
    }
}

Hope it will help you
