not working? means, the element is not identified? or the element is not visible? or the element is not clickable? what is the exception thrown? — Naveen Kumar R B, Nov 03 '16 at 08:35

Try this -

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(Driver, 10); // Wait for 10 seconds.
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("/html/body/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div[1]/div/a")));
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.xpath("/html/body/div[2]/div[1]/div/div/div[1]/div/a"));
element.click();

I have faced similar problems and I am not sure what causes it though. During this kind of situation you could be using JavaScript click event. Like the below,

WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.id("<<<Your ID>>>"));
JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor)driver;
executor.executeScript("arguments[0].click();", element);

Hope this help!
