The windows have a system within them to prevent them being closed onto a hand or head or similar....  It works by reading the 'resistance' of the window travelling through the felt guide s that when it meets resistance, cuts the power and goes into reverse.

Look for a sticky bit in the window channel or a piece of dirt or grit or similar.

Or it could be one of the control arms in the door mechanism that has got something jammed in it...
