A minimal test file would be of more help.
With your informations I get a correct file:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[plainpages=false,pdfpagelabels,pagebackref]{hyperref}
\begin{document}
\frontmatter
Hello World (frontmatter): \cite{a}
\mainmatter
Hello World (mainmatter): \cite{a}
\chapter{Chapter}
\cite{a}

\begin{thebibliography}{999}
\bibitem{a} Foo bar

\end{thebibliography}
\end{document}
