Why does your black powder rifle hang-fire?
There are several reasons for hang fires and or miss fires. The most common is due to damp or old powder or moisture in the barrel (oil water) Try a new batch of powder and see if that cures it. Other sources are poor ignition or spark strength, percussion caps get damp or old and loose there spark, or with flintlocks your flint may be dull or dirty or the flash pan may be dirty. next would be the spark path, the nipple may be damaged or clogged or the hole from the nipple to the barrel could be plugged, or in the case of flintlock the flash hole could be plugged. A good cleaning with hot soapy water should clear it up, and check the nipple for any damage or mushrooming and change it out if there is any question.
What do you do in a hang fire?
Hang fires are not that common with modern factory ammunition. Although with surplus ammunition you can have them. Regardles, stay in your firing position. Keep the muzzle of the weapon pointed in a safe direction. Wait at least one minute to see if the round will fire. If not, eject the round and remove it to a safe location. Dispose of properly. MUZZLE-LOADERS Wait for several minutes. Keep the gun pointed down-range or in a safe direction. For Percussion Cap black powder gun, if the cap popped but the gun did not fire, then remove the cap. It is important to check the bullet to see if it did move down the barrel. For some calibers, the cap has enough power to move the bullet, however, usually if it does go into the barrel it should ignite the powder. So, use the ram rod to re-seat the bullet. To clear the gun, you can try another cap. Or better yet, insert a few grains of powder into the Nipple before placing a cap (not sure if this is possible on modern ignition systems). As an alternate, remove the Nipple and see if it is clogged. Insert some powder into the barrel (or cylinder for a pistol) and re-install the Nipple. It is important to take Nipple Wrench when you go shooting, especially for a Black Powder Revolver. To prevent a hang-fire for a Percussion Black Powder gun, always snap off a few Caps without powder. Residual oil in the barrel will be pushed to the bottom of the barrel when you load the first round. It is important to burn out this oil. Point the gun at a blade of grass and pop a cap and watch to see if the cap causes it to move. Or insert a small amount of powder in the gun---without a bullet---and fire it to see if the powder ignites. (This may not work on long barrels as the powder may not settle to the bottom of the barrel.

When a cartridge fails to fire you should keep the gun pointed in a safe direction and wait seconds before carefully unloading the firearm?
I am going to assume from the nature of the question that you are asking why this is often held as a wise procedure. There are three basic types of malfunction that can occur with ammunition. The first is a "Squib Fire" where the powder does not completely burn, and the bullet fails to leave the barrel. The second is a misfire where the round fails to activate, and one hears only a simple "click"; indicating that the round is a dud. The third type of malfunction is called a "Hang Fire" and is the reason for this procedure. When the first occur "Hang Fires" behave like misfires, the trigger is pulled and nothing happens. Then...a few seconds later...bang! A Hang Fire is the result when a primer fails to immediately ignite the powder, resulting in the round discharging some time after the trigger is pulled rather than within one second. Thus whenever you have a misfire you keep the weapon pointed in a safe direction and wait to be sure it is in fact a miss-fire and not a hang-fire. I have always advised my students to wait a full minute (assuming they are not in combat or what have you, or course.) And then to remove the dud round.
