this happened to my friends driver door. try using the key and mess with the mechanism inside the door until it clicks.
I had this problem with my 1998 Sable... Cleaned the door latch mechanism with something like brake cleaner and then followed up with liberal amounts of spray lubricants. Actually had to oil the drivers door a couple of times over the first few months. Been good ever since (4 years).
Work the oil into the latch my opening/closing it a few dozen times. Neighbors might think you're a little weird, but mine didn't blink an eye...

Just going by the question...I would say that the latch has gotten in "the closed door position". Be sure that the door is unlocked. With your finger lift out on the latch on the end of the door and use the door handle to "open" the door latch.
