Narrative:
The first officer (first officer) was the pilot flying (PF) and we were cleared for the visual runway. The winds were out of the northwest gusting to 30+ knots. While on short final and between an altitude of 100 feet and 50 feet the first officer believed that we had encounter wind shear right over the runway; because of the lack of response of aircraft flight control. He elected to go around; during the go around the aircraft main gear touched the runway. We set up for a second approach and the landing was uneventful. As a precaution I elect to have maintenance check the aircraft for a possible tail strike during the go around.
