Not to pick nits, but...
It is, in fact, recocking the hammer every time you fire it - it can't help but do that if the slide goes all the way back, it ejects the spent case, and chambers a new round. What is actually happening here is that the hammer is following the slide, resuming its at-rest position after it has been cocked.
With that distinction in mind, it's obvious there is something amiss with whatever holds it back after it is cocked. Something is gummed up (in which case you probably fixed it), or something it worn. If your cleaning didn't fix it, look for part of that specific mechanism to be worn.
Oh, and I agree whole heartedly with targa911S's assessment of Walthers in general. I've had a few, but only one remains - a WWII take-home P38 from my father in law. I pity the fool who carried that thing into battle. It doesn't even make a very good club.
