The most common reason is that the fixings aren't tight, causing the lever bearing to get tangled up against the door. It could also be due to the fact that the levers are not being operated in a straight line and this is causing compression of the latch mechanism, preventing it from fully springing back into action.

The easiest way to test this is to turn the handle to see if it returns to the horizontal position. If your door handles are loose it is crucial to find the issue fast, as this could lead to excessive wear on the screws, and even to the handle falling off the base plate. It is recommended to tighten all screws that are loose on a regular basis in order to stop them from loosening.
