Can you show us what resp.body is?
The following works for me:

irb(main):001:0> require 'json'
=> true
irb(main):003:0> h = {'member_id' => 5, 'name' => 'test'}
=> {"name"=>"test", "member_id"=>5}
irb(main):005:0> h.to_json
=> "{\"name\":\"test\",\"member_id\":5}"
irb(main):006:0> json = JSON.parse(h.to_json)
=> {"name"=>"test", "member_id"=>5}
irb(main):007:0> json["member_id"].to_i
=> 5

So, I think we need more info.

Jesus.
