Two possibilities

1- Check the AF/MF switch position on the lens.

2- Check custom function settings for exposure and focusing to the shutter release button. It is under Custom functions "Operation/others". Under "Shutter/AE Lock button" it should be set to 0, meaning assigning both the exposure and focus to the shutter release button.

Good suggestions,

and if you haven't checked, make sure the camera in not set in the 'M' mode and make sure AI servo hasn't been turned on.  I don't think the camera has to achieve focus to release the shutter in these modes.
