What happens when you pick your Moto E up?

For a long time, when I picked my phone up after a period of inactivity it would briefly show the time and a padlock symbol. And I do mean briefly - about a second. If I was quick enough to swipe the padlock then the phone would wake without me having to press the power button.

But all of a sudden, that's stopped - I pick up the phone and the screen stays black meaning I have to press power. Very annoying when machines begin changing things of their own accord...

Anyhow, can anyone else wake the phone without the power button as I once could? And how can I get back to that? Thank you.
