drupal_redirect_form not working with entity

Question

I have created custom submit form handler for entity using below

$form['#submit'][]='app_contact_form_submit_message_alter';

but when i used

drupal_get_messages($type = NULL);
drupal_set_message('Thanks for your feedback we will contact soon.');
drupal_redirect_form($form_state);

It redirect correctly but entity is not created.

and even if i use drupal_goto() same thing happening.

If you want to redirect a form submit you should use the redirect parameter:

function app_contact_form_submit_message_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
  drupal_get_messages($type = NULL);
  drupal_set_message('Thanks for your feedback we will contact soon.');
  $form_state['redirect'] = 'node/23'; // The path you want to go
}

This will call drupal_redirect_form($form_state) byt its self, if you call it directly you are skipping the save step.
