I just wanted to find out about what happens if a throw in is taken and the ball does not come onto the pitch.

Is it retaken by the same team?

Yes, @jojo is right, but be careful on corners. I've had it when the corner has gone straight off for a goal kick and the CAR has said that the ball never came on, but in this case it is a goal kick because the ball must have started on the pitch so don't get caught out there!
 
If the ball has not crossed the line, then the ball is not in play, and play has not yet been restarted, so yes it would be taken again by the same team.

How many times before you book 'em for delaying the restart ;)
