Sounds like something has broken between the push-button and the latch. =
Had it been stiff, then free and you couldn't open it from the outside =
then I'd have said it was the button or the lever on the latch. But as =
it now won't latch at all then it has to be something in the lock. Door =
trim off, disconnect the internal lock and latch rods from the lock, =
three screws, and the lock comes out. Not really intended to be opened =
up, but this may help: http://www.mgb-stuff.org.uk/saga12.htm
BTW, always give the year as stuff like this varies, but the mention of =
'push-button' is a give-away.

... My driver's side door won't latch. Since I bought the car about =
4 years ago, the button on the door has been hard to push in. Then, =
about a week ago, I heard something click when I pushed it in, and after =
that, the button was easier to push (like what I would consider normal). =
Yesterday, I noticed the door would not latch. I tried pushing it real =
hard and got it to latch a couple of times, but now it won't latch at =
all.
