If someone pulled on the door handle while you were unlocking the car, it will be a dead latch mechanism.
The door handle can be removed. On the inside of the door edge is a small plastic cover at the same height as the door handle. Pry this cover off to expose 2 torx screws. Remove the 2 screws and carefully pull the handle out of the car. The handle should have been connected to a rod to actuate the door release. You might have to loosen the 2 screws that hold down the latch.
