The first parameter is the name of the input field (name="firstname"). It is not the label (First name: ). so your code should be,

$this->Form->input('firstname', array('class'=>'form-control'));

To get this structure [Contact][firstname], your form name should be 'contact'. 

$this->Form->create('Contact',array('class'=>'form'));
    $this->Form->input('firstname', array('class'=>'form-control'));

Your code should be like this:

echo $this->Form->input('firstname', array('class'=>'form-control','label'=>'First Name'));
