Human Factors; Weather
The First Officer (FO) was the Pilot Flying (PF) and we were cleared for the visual Runway. The winds were out of the northwest gusting to 30+ knots. While on short final and between an altitude of 100 feet and 50 feet the FO believed that we had encounter wind shear right over the runway; because of the lack of response of aircraft flight control. He elected to go around; during the go around the aircraft main gear touched the runway. We set up for a second approach and the landing was uneventful. As a precaution I elect to have  maintenance check the aircraft for a possible tail strike during the go around.
I was flying the visual approach at runway 29. At the time; the wind was reported to be 18kts gusting to 30kts; from a direction of 340. During the last 50 feet the aircraft felt out of control in the roll axis. I decided to go-around. The landing gear did touch the runway before we got airborne. We returned for a second approach to runway 29 and landed uneventfully.
A B757 flight crew on short final elected to go-around because the pilot flying thought the aircraft...'felt out of control in the roll axis.'  The aircraft touched down briefly. They then flew a second approach to a successful landing.
