Different behavior between a click Selenium and Mouse click

Current Behavior

Using this piece of code

    from selenium import webdriver
    from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
    from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
    from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
    browser = webdriver.Firefox()
    button_value = '/html/body/div/div[2]/div/div/div/div/div[1]/div/form/div/div[3]/div[3]/a[2]'
    .........
    browser.find_element(By.XPATH, pin_box).send_keys(pin)
    browser.find_element(By.XPATH,, button_value).click() #Click NEXT Button

on this page

enter image description here

I end up going back to the login page

Whereas if I put a break point on 

browser.find_element(button_type, button_value).click()

and I click with the mouse manually enter image description here

I am going to the desired page

Expected Behavior

To end up on the desired page (i.e not the login page) via Selenium like if I was manually clicking on the next button

PS: PIN html source in case you need

Later in my code there was a redirection of the URL. This redirection did not give the time to the click submission to be completed. The follow code fixed the issue

.......    
browser.find_element(By.XPATH, pin_box).click() #Click NEXT Button
WebDriverWait(browser, timeout).until(EC.invisibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, pin_box)))

Sorry and thanks for those who helped me on this

Try to click with webdriver wait or with send ENTER key on next button. As last option you can try to click with Javascript .

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

element = WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(
EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[.='NEXT']")))
element.click()

try click using Enter or Return

element.send_keys(Keys.RETURN)

OR

element.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)

OR (try to click with Java script but without wait as it can be fail on wait)

element=browser.find_element(By.XPATH, "//a[.='NEXT']")
browser.execute_script("arguments[0].click();", element)
