>>See Rambam Yesodei  HaTorah 10:1-3 when the nevuoh must come to pass and 
10-4 where the nevuoh does  not necessarily need to come to pass.  The 
latter was obviously the case  for Yona.<<

Nevertheless a true nevuah must come true on some  level.  The nevuah was 
"Od arba'im yom veNinveh nehepaches" which would  mean either that after 
forty days, Nineveh will be overturned and destroyed, OR  within forty days 
there will be a revolution and an upheaval, and the  old sinful way of behaving 
will be overturned as people turn to  teshuva.   In the latter sense, 
Nineveh really was "overturned," as  the people turned over a new leaf and turned 
the whole situation around.   "Revolution" literally means "turning over" 
BTW and "nehepaches" really means  "make a revolution."
