By default jQuery is smart and tries to detect the format. You can use various methods to detect the content type, the best one would be looking at the content-type header of the response - but that will only work if your serverside application sends appropriate headers.

However, you should really try to keep the format the same for all responses. Why not simply change whatever does not return json currently to wrap the text in JSON, e.g. {"text": "yourtext"}
