Yes, have the clarinet checked by a competent repair tech for leaks. Most likely, either the long keys that control those notes are out of adjustment and the pads are not sealing, or you have a series of small air leaks around other pads higher up. If pressing the key for long B harder makes it speak, the likelihood is that the levers are just out of adjustment. If B plays well when you also are pressing the C key but is balky when you only press the B key by itself, the adjustment between the two needs to be checked.
