I think that it's because of card setting of:

    Signature PIN ....: not forced

You can examine this flag by gpg --card-status.

To change this, please do following.

# Invoce gpg card utility:

    $ gpg --card-edit

# Then, enable admin command

    gpg/card> admin

# Then, setup not forcing PIN everytime
# (It will ask you the admin PIN)

    gpg/card> forcesig
