sounds like a slightly sticky gear shift shaft, its a common problem and all you need to do it take the circlip off the gear lever clean the shaft and inside the hole of the lever and add a good dollop of grease to the shaft and put the gear lever back on remembering to put the circlip back on.

another problem is not letting your foot drop far enough between shifts.
