Critic consensus
“The Pantech Vybe is a decent messaging phone, but there's just so little new here that I don't understand its place in AT&T's lineup. It's almost the same phone as the Pantech Renue, and I'd probably get the Renue instead for its eco-friendly, more durable build and slightly better call quality (though the Vybe has a somewhat sharper display). If you must have a keyboard, your only other option is the LG Xpression 2, which we haven't tested yet, but looks similar feature-wise to the Pantech devices.”
“Featuring a QWERTY keyboard and a 3-megapixel camera, the ultrabasic Vybe is available for just $30 on-contract.”

Hi there! It is because of the proximity sensor. If you check on the left of the ear piece, that's the proximity sensor. When you're on a call, screen turns off when you put anything near the sensor, this is to avoid accidentally touching the screen when on a call.
