Not an expert, but a homeowner. MOST gas fireplaces (and other appliances) have a flame sensor- frequently in the form of a thermocouple. Intended to prevent gas from flowing when there is no flame present. If the thermocouple is bad, it will shut off the gas flow even when a flame IS present. It may look like a small rod that is in the flame of the pilot light. I would REALLY hand this of to a professional gas repairman. The cost of having this done right is FAR less than the cost of doing it wrong.

What is the problem if your gas fireplace does not come on even though the gas is working in the rest of the house and you hear a clicking sound?

To me it sounds like your pilot light on the fireplace is out. That could happen from a strong wind coming down the chimney or a strong breeze in the house from a fan. Check your pilot light and be sure to have the gas off before lighting the pilot light if it is out.
