Did you have the stern tubes selected while the target was off your bow ?
NO! Steamy,What difference would that make to sonar indication ?
None but if you can see it in your periscope you should be able to 'lock' it (in full auto).

There are a plethroa of reasons it may not get picked up by sonar. ...

The target is quiet, covered up by surface noise, or your sound man is a slacker.
