Tec, the handle mechanism is known for developing some internal resistance which will lead to the door failing to lock. You will most likely need to remove the door panel and do a once over of the cable that runs between the handle and the lock mechanism and then give the handle a good looking over, cleaning and light oiling. Worst case, you will end up having to get a new interior door handle.
