Try spraying some WD-40 inside the mechanism. If that doesn't help, most likely the metal spring is shot and you need to replace the whole thing.

My '87 Sport had the broken spring problem. I took the buckle apart and used the spring out of the center rear buckle to fix it (thus making the car a four seater)

My 88 has this issue as well.  for a temporary make yourself feal kinda safe fix.  I flip the buckle over so the button comes out due to gravity.  Then i buckle it and pull it tight.
