First Officer was pilot flying during IOE. We were in clear VMC at 3;000 ft. Flaps were selected to 20 at 200 kts. on a visual approach to Runway XX. EICAS indicated flaps deployed to 20. Cleared for the visual; approximately 3 miles from ZZZZZ; gear was selected down and flaps selected 30. Airspeed upon selecting flaps 30 was 175 kts. I noticed the flaps not moving on EICAS; as well as not feeling any change in the flight characteristics of the aircraft. FLAPS FAIL caution was annunciated. We coordinated a go around with ZZZ approach. They gave us delay vectors while we ran the QRH. We completed the QRH procedure and a landing with flaps 20 and a Vref speed of 137 kts. ATC vectored us to another visual approach to Runway XX and cleared us. In the turn to final the winds picked up a bit and the First Officer got behind the airplane. I took the flight controls and the landing was normal.
CRJ-200 Captain reported a failure of the flap system on approach.
