Yeah, reality checks aren't perfect, sometimes they don't work in dream like they supposed to.
Though, when you do reality checks in waking life, do you expect to be really dreaming and do you expect reality check to show that? If not, do so, that will do a bit of passive control in dream, which is based on expectations, and will increase chance of reality check working greatly. Also don't forget that the point of reality checks is not an action, but the increase of awareness, like, right before doing reality check in waking life, stop, take a look around and completely believe that you are dreaming right now, then do an reality check.
Also put emotions into reality check when you do it in waking life, like "Wow, am i dreaming?", emotions are important for the reality check and will help to become lucid with the right mindset.
Good luck!
