weird question since I don't know what I'm doing wrong

how can I ensure a blurred background ? Sometimes w same lens and settings the background will blur and sometimes it doesn't. How can I guarantee blur?

Let me recommend to you the book, "Macro Photography - From Snapshots to Great Shots" by Rob Sheppard.

While I didn't find it that helpful specifically in terms of macro photography, it's pretty much everything a beginner could want in terms of clear explanations and examples of what affects depth of field, and ways to manipulate it.  It directly addresses the issues you are experiencing, and how to obtain or not obtain particular qualities of bokeh.
