Try pulling the bonnet up while pulling the handle.

best way:

See if you can tap the latch with a screw driver, failing that - if possible, take your front bumper off and try it from there.

Once you find out what's wrong (probably the grommet that holds the cable to the latch mount, enabling the cable to slide through the sheeth - if it's broken, all pulling on the tab does is pull the cable AND the sheeth).

A friend fixed mine with a series of cable ties innovatively placed to hold the sheeth secured, and allow the sliding of the cable.
