Screen not locked after suspen (run from terminal)

Question

The thing though is that on many occasions the resume is back with an unlocked screen!

It's not always, but most of the time. Why & how can I make sure it locks?

Just to clarify, are you sure that the computer is suspended, or could it have just switched off the display? I think ubuntu does the latter by default after a certain time (maybe 10 minutes?), you can see the setting (in 12.04) from System settings > Brightness and Lock.
I don't think so. It happened a number of times. moreover, I recall once I closed the lid after it suspended & the lights started blinking (a sign of suspend). I'll consider your answer & check it next time

Well, I haven't faced this problem since I posted here. I guess it was just my mistake.

The screen does lock; I might have made a mistake like "taneli" said above!
