You need to adjust the striker plate.

The striker should have two lips, a big one and a small one, about 1/2 inch apart.
You got that or a modified home job? :?

The big one is the main one.
When the door closes slowly, there should be a 2 clicks: the first is the small lip, and thats there as a safety thing, the next one further back with more engagement is what holds the door closed firmly and in the right spot.
