The hyperfocal method is a way of insuring that everything in the background appears to be in focus in the final image as it is displayed. If you want your photo to demonstrate background bokeh then the last thing you want to do is shoot with the aperture set narrow enough that the subject distance is within the hyperfocal distance.

The concept of hyperfocal distance is based upon the illusion of depth of field. There is only one true focus distance. But things on either side of that distance appear to our eyes to be in focus when the blur they demonstrate is too small for our eyes to see it as blur. As the aperture is set to a more narrow setting the depth of field increases. When we have set the aperture so that the depth of field extends from the subject distance behind it to infinity we are using the hyperfocal distance. This is the opposite of blurring the background to get bokeh.

In order to get background bokeh you need to set the aperture wide enough (lower f-number) and use a subject distance short enough that the background is well behind the limits of the depth of field given by the choice of focal length and aperture (as well as display size and viewing distance which also affect the perceived depth of field).
