Why should it if all's well? If you ask for something explicitly
(--with-soemthing) and it's not there, you'll get an error.

In what cases exactly do you want to get such prompts (but not failing 
of the scripts) in what cases, exactly?

Not at all:

$ cat configure.ac
AC_INIT(tester, 0.0.1, here)

AC_MSG_NOTICE(A word to the user)
AC_MSG_ERROR(Error Message)
$ autoconf
$ ./configure
configure: A word to the user
configure: error: Error Message
$ ./configure --silent
configure: error: Error Message
