Here you can perform click by using JavascriptExecutoras follows :-

WebElement el = webDriver.findElement(By.xpath("here is your xpath"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)webDriver
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click()", el);

Some element which is on the top recieves click instead your tab. You should make screenshot after your click to see what is happening.
