That's the normal way things work.

If you use Asterisk to set up a call, either through AMI or by means of a call 
file, then you have to lift your receiver to set the other end ringing.  (You 
can prove this easily enough.)  Even if the phone on your end is a softphone, 
you still have to "lift the receiver" by pressing "Answer".

What you really want, is to start your softphone and make it dial the number.  
How exactly to do this depends on your setup.
