There are three cases a torpedo can bounce off the target ship. The first is if you have dud torpedoes turned on. You don't, so that's out. The second is if it strikes the ship at too steep an angle; try to shoot in such a way that the torpedo hits the ship from less than a 45° angle. The third is if the torpedo runs too low. If you've looked at the underside of the ship models, you'll have noticed that the underside of the hull is curved. If the torpedo runs too low, instead of hitting squarely the curved part of the torpedo will glance off the underside of the ship without detonating. They are 21" in diameter, after all, and the detonator whiskers are much smaller.
