As Susan said, it could be a non-responsive reed, but if it isn't, try this:
Put the reed in your mouth and stop it with your tongue. Blow against this with wind pressure sufficient for the dynamic you wish to play. When all this is in place, go 'tah' and the attack should be immediate.
If this works, then the problem is preparing too late for the attack. Your embouchere should be set and the wind behind your tongue for every attack you ever make. I tell my students to start each attack like (hut)-TAH, where the (hut) part is building the wind pressure behind the tongue prior to the attack.
Set your metronome on a slow tempo - 60, maybe - and practice attacking every other click. This will give you time to do the preparatory steps prior to attacking exactly on the click. When you can do this, that problem is solved.
Now go make reeds! :-)
