I had a problem like that with my shotgun while I was shooting a trap match, even after lowering the hammer on the cap and pushing down on the hammer before cocking the hammer and shooting, I sometimes needed a second hammer strike to make the cap go off. I can't afford this kind of unreliability because we are only allowed two malfunctions per match, after that, a misfire is a lost bird.
Finally, I examined the box of caps I was using and they were size 10, not 11. Changed over to size 11 and not a single misfire for the rest of the day.
