Hanging up on the striker. Have you had to slam it to get it closed?
I'm thinking worn out hinges. The door is out of alinge somewhere.

If it goes that far, the first thing to try is to shoulder it hard from inside.
If that doesn't do it, I'm not sure what to do next, as it does sound as though the latch is actually unlatching.
It may be that the release is catching at the second detent, in which case, a good spray with penetrating oil, repeated several times over several days, along with working the latch over and over, may release it.

try also lifting the lock **** up and down several times and or using the key to lock/unlock it a few times
