That is because you have not setup Jupyter to use a UI window and continue to
allow interactivity. You must always start with
%gui qt
What this does is to activate the UI toolkit so that windows can be popped up
without blocking Jupyter/IPython.
This is discussed here prominently at the start of the page:
http://docs.enthought.com/mayavi/mayavi/mlab.html
It is also mentioned in the tutorial material here:
https://github.com/prabhuramachandran/mayavi-tutorial/slides
You may find the first hour or so of the tutorial here useful to watch:

Yes, to both so long as you run %gui qt right up at the start.
