Changing the Button background image on click

I tried implementing the button programmatically, and I'm having trouble changing the image onclick. I used [self.predictButton setBackgroundImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"button-on"] forState:UIControlStateNormal]; but it doesn't do anything.

I fixed the problem. After changing the button to UIButtonTypeCustom, it works. self.predictButton = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];

I have no idea why the event does not do anything to a UIButton of type UIButtonTypeRoundedRect.
