Cable has broken or come adrift if it's still opening the latch. It should have a return spring in the handle cable may have slipped through and be jamming it.
 
Ok so might not be broken at all then, I will have a look at it on the weekend, it is still opening the dood
 
I had this and it was fraying of the stranded metal wire inside the plastic outer sheath (at the latch end inside the door). I tried to fix it, but in the end just replaced the pull cable. Worth popping the door card off to have a look and see what the situation is like inside the door/at the latch end.

When mine fully stuck it wouldn't let me open the door (even with the outside handle) as it was jamming the mechanism in the latch part way. I got lucky with a pair of pliers on the metal cable at the interior door handle end and freed it up so I could open the door and replace the cable.
