What are his hobbies and major interests? Read about them and I am sure you will come up with many questiond that you can ask. If they are intelligent and serious questions you will succeed in "priming the pump."

Try to create a conversation upon issues he is good at, like his hobbies. Express interest and curiosity. Then, gradually, try to drag the conversation and change subject to the one you wanted to talk about at first place.

I would suggest asking questions about him that aren't suitable for a yes/no answer. This usually will help open the door for other non-yes/no questions.

A healthy relationship starts with trust and honesty and a big warm genuine smile.

It's not easy.  Not knowing your situation, I can only assume this is someone you're interested in, and/or might be involved with.  In any event, as a guy who's been labeled "shy", "passive", "non-social", "introverted", "not talkative", etc..., it's bothered me because I don't consider myself any of those.  It's just when in certain situations, I may feel uncomfortable talking.  For example:  around a large group of people, strangers, me talking when 4 or more people are watching/listening to me, or when I see an attractive girl I would love to talk to, but I don't have the courage, or if someone introduces me to an attractive girl I freeze up at times.  I'm getting much better; HOWEVER.  No matter how quiet someone is, or no matter how shy they are, they have a story to tell.  Just like the posts here, ask questions.  Find out what they are passionate about, and they will talk about it.  Anytime I get uncomfortable talking, I always try to turn the spotlight on someone else by asking questions.  I'm not avoiding the situation, but when I do that, I try to create this dialogue, and I end up talking more when I find a common interest with the person(s) I'm talking with.  Plus, if you can say something to create any kind of laughter, that's a bonus, because it's an ice breaker and it reduces a lot of anxiety of not wanting to talk.  I assure you if you find out what they're passionate about, they will talk about it and hopefully they will open up a bit more.  Good luck, keep us posted!
