Under "Screensaver" make sure you have the "Lock screen after" setting
set to 0.

Confirmed works as you describe with command:

> xscreensaver-command -activate

I've noticed various power management tools interfere with the
xscreensaver default xlock.  This could be why you're experiencing
difficulty.

> xscreensaver-command -version 
XScreenSaver 5.30

Title:
  Lock screen on wakeup from screensaver - feature request

Status in xscreensaver package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  It would be really good if there could be a way of setting it so that
  during the time that the screensaver is on, if there is any
  interaction which wakesup the machine happens, for it to automatically
  ask for the password like it can do after a set time if set. So that
  if the screensaver turns on, and say somebody wiggles the mouse to
  wake it up, it requests for the password before it allows them to log
  in.
