Default Passenger door lock...strange

When I lock the doors with the switch on either the driver or passenger doors, the passenger lock clicks like it's trying to lock, but doesn't. I can lock it manually by pressing it back. Here's the strange part. I finally got around to getting a batter for my key FOB and when I lock the doors by moving far enough away from the car, the passenger lock works just fine. Seems to me that the same motor is used to lock the door regarless of which method is used to lock it. Any ideas?

The same thing happens to mine. I think someone posted earlier saying that that's just how it works.
I just use the fob

Hmmmmm.......mine doesn't work that way. Both doors lock with the switch, whether or not the fob is within range. This is with the fob in "auto" mode. I didn't try it in "manual" mode. I also have mine set to be able to unlock both doors, if that matters.
