Unable to lock the phone

I am not able to lock my  Xperia-Z (C-6603, build version - 10.5.1.A.0.283). When I press the power button or keeps the phone idle for long time, screen is going off. How ever if I press the power button again, it is not asking the pattern lock. Insted, it goes to  a scrren showing time (in big font), day, date and month. When I  swipe this screen, it unlocks the phone without asking any password or pattern. And very rarely it asks for the pattern. My secuirity settings are 'power button instantly locks' and 'automatically lock 30 seconds after sleep'. Anyone else facing this issue?. Anyone please suggest how to get rid off this problem.

Thanks in advance

uninstall the launcher and check again, if that doesn't work, uninstall the antivirus too and report back
