I'm no Redhat expert (I use Debian and Ubuntu distros), but I found a possible reason here: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/GnomeScreensaver/FrequentlyAskedQuestions#Why_doesn.27t_my_screen_lock_when_I.27m_logged_in_as_root.3F
"Why doesn't my screen lock when I'm logged in as root?
gnome-screensaver will blank the screen but will not lock. This is for security reasons. Seriously, it is very unwise to login as root in the first place. Try logging in as an unprivileged user and using sudo or su instead. "
I don't know if you're logged in as root when this happens, but this could be the reason. You should always use another user to login and sudo to root only when needed.
