Check Settings > Camera > Camera Control and make sure Launch Camera is set to Single Press (or whichever you want). A thick case or screen protector near the button can also stop it from registering. A restart sometimes fixes it too.

Are you trying to open Apple Camera app or a third party camera app? What iOS version are you using?
