Narrative:

Acting as pilot flying I noticed that the flaps were not deploying when I was commanding flap settings during a visual approach backup by an ILS approach. I therefore executed a go-around and transferred controls once stabilized and level at 2;000 ft. I [advised ATC] and then completed the QRH trailing edge flap disagree and non-routine landing considerations checklists. Once configured flaps 15 per QRH we executed a visual approach backed up by an RNAV (GPS) approach. I then cleared the runway and made a PA to the passengers. I proceeded to the gate and we completed all checklists and aml (aircraft maintenance log) entries. I called dispatch to answer all questions that he had as well as talked with local maintenance.
