My pair did what you explained many times. In fact, I had never witnessed an actual mating until after she laid her first clutch. They had snuck one in when I wasn't looking.
Perhaps she isn't ready, or maybe he just hasn't gotten it down yet, or "up" LOL.
If you are set on having them mate then keep letting them go at it. But don't under estimate the labor taking care of babies involves. Also, don't plan on just one clutch from one mating. My pair laid 5 clutches from the last mating, 3 of them are still cooking. It is work & money, something you really need to weigh out.
Just think,, all the cages, lighting, food, vitamins, Vet visits for the inevitable few who have problems, etc. It does add up.
Good luck.
