According to this thread:

http://askubuntu.com/questions/459840/lock-screen-not-working-14-04

this problem is likely due to a bug in gnome-screensaver, in that the
14.04 package does not configure it to run at startup.

Title:
  Screen never locks when inactive

Status in gnome-screensaver package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The "Brightness & Lock" dialog reports that my screen should turn off
  when inactive for 5 minutes, and it should require my password to
  unlock, but this never happens. On a fresh install of 14.04, I've left
  it idle for over an hour and the desktop remains visible and unlocked.

  If I press ctrl+alt+l, the screen locks, however, I would expect this
  to happen automatically according to the "Brightness & Lock" dialog.
