Depending, if you rapidly 'pump' the handle when trying to flush the toilet
then does that make it flush properly?
If so then it's the 'Flap Valve' that's failed, this by itself is only
normally a small flimsy piece of plastic, but normally it's easier to just
buy a new siphon. These take about 15 minutes to fit and generally cause
minimum fuss (providing you turn the water off first!).

Hope this helps a little.
