To keep the door shut I need to lift the lever upwards. Same style front door stays shut when you push it to. Is it easy to fix the latch so it shuts without having to lift the handle?

Take a look at the section of the frame that the latch closes against (the keep). There is usually a screw adjustment on the keep to allow you to move it in/out. It may also be that the door has dropped slightly, so the latch is completing missing the keep - either raise the door or drop the keep.
