I'd have to look at the code, but it doesn't surprise me. The phone app/lock screen is a tricky bit of code and I don't think it was intended for the ringtone to play while the screen is off.
Is there a reason you chose the Ringtone class to play your sound? There are other options e.g. Notification Manager, MediaPlayer.
