I've had this same situation with various Bluetooth headsets and my 
phone too. I don't know what it is, but it seems like the Bluetooth 
connection just drops for a split second, and then comes back, but it's 
enough to make it look like the connection was not there and so it goes 
to the phone's speaker instead. I think perhaps if you have the option, 
maybe try to connect via USB instead?
