If you look closely at the flag, you can see a rod going through the top of the flag, which holds the flag up. On Apollo 12, the upper rod would not hold and their flag hangs limp from the pole. The other 5 missions all manged to get the rod to stay in place, which makes the flag appear to fly in the lunar atmosphere.

The best photos to see the flag up close are the photos taken during the Apollo 17 mission.
