Sounds like a loose connection or the switch mechanism is arcing inside. As this could be a potential fire risk, its worth getting it checked out asap.

Sounds like a loose terminal or faulty switch. You could check the terminals for tightness or replace the switch if that does not do the trick. IMPORTANT: DO NOT FORGET TO ISOLATE THE CIRCUIT AND CHECK ITS SAFE(NO CURRENT)PRIOR TO WORKING ON IT.
If in any doubt about your ability contact a registered electrician to test/repair.
