You need to make your Web API aware of your Client application. It's not enough to add delegated permission to API from your Client.

To make the API client aware, go to Azure management portal, download API's manifest and add ClientID of your Client application to the list of "knownClientApplications".

To allow Implicit flow you need to set "oauth2AllowImplicitFlow" to true in the manifest as well.

Upload the manifest back to API application.
