Trackpad stopped "clicking"

Force Click is only available on the Macbook Retina and some Pro Retina models. It's not available on Macbook Air. It only has the "old" trackpad.

Hi Gal 220,

Force Click and haptic feedback option is only available to Macs with Force Touch trackpads. Your MacBook Air, sadly, doesn't have this feature.
