The way Tkinter calls those methods is a little different than what you may expect. Both ball and ball_back are being called right away one after another. Since ball_back fails the if statement right out of the gate (x is greater than 100) it never gets called again. Try changing the last lines of ball to this:

x = x+5
if x <800:
    canvas.after(20,ball)
else:
    canvas.after(20, ball_back)
