Yes. You do CPR to mimic the action of the heart. If a person has a pulse it means their heart is pumping. If you give CPR to someone with no pulse, when their heart starts again they will typically vomit as a result of all the pushing on the chest. At that point stop and roll them on to their side so they dont choke.

Edit: Dont confuse not breathing with a stopped heart. A person can have a pulse and still not be breathing. Think of being underwater. If you come across a person that is not breathing but has a pulse you need to open the airway. Lay them on their back, tilt the head backwards and open the jaw. Look for and clear any obstructions in their mouth.

A person should contact 911 if they are unsure whether or not to peform CPR on a person who is conscious, but can't breathe. They can advise on the proper steps that should be taken to save a person's life.

If someone is unconscious but has a pulse, you should NOT perform CPR. Give rescue breathing if there is no breathing, but there is a pulse.
