This is very common on the Punto. Lift the handle and spray some 'white grease' aerosol lubricant onto all the pivot points and hinges that you can see from below, making sure some gets onto the mechanism where it psaases through to the inside of the door. Operated the handle repeatedly until it returns under pressure from the internal spring. Job done!
