Just a guess but is the secondary replica set to asynchronous and/or manual failover? What do you get when you run the following:
SELECT
ag.name,
r.replica_server_name,
r.availability_mode_desc,
r.failover_mode_desc
FROM
sys.availability_replicas r
INNER JOIN sys.availability_groups ag
ON r.group_id = ag.group_id
ORDER BY
ag.name,
r.replica_server_name;
