Try checking the latching assembly on the door. If it snaps shut before the door colses, it keeps the door from closing. With the door open, look at the assembly while pulling the door handle to open. Use a screw driver and snap the latch that holds the door shut down. It should pop back and reset.

Worn out door hinge pins and bushings lead to poor alignment and damage to latch and striker pin.
