It could be something as simple as your thermostat is broken (even though it is displaying the correct room temp) and is not calling for cooling when it should. That would explain why your compressor doesn't run constantly.
We had the symptoms you describe, not enough cooling but compressor not continuously running. It turned out to be a failing capacitor. Sometime the compressor would start and but most of the time it wouldn't but would overheat and automatically shutdown for a while... so to us it appeared it was not running all the time.
In any case you will need a AC company to take a look and if you don't have a service contract with them they will probably charge you a service call at a minimum.
