Check if you have included the JSON Formatter in your configuration. It should be something like :

    System.Web.Http.GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Formatters.XmlFormatter.SupportedMediaTypes.Clear();
    config.Formatters.Insert(0, new System.Net.Http.Formatting.JsonMediaTypeFormatter());

The Content-Type=application/json only will work if you set the proper formatter.

You can also try using [FromBody] next to your parameter type.
