    The valve doesn't know whether you are putting air in, or letting it out. It's either open, or it's closed. The fact that it can open to let air out means that it is able to open to let air in.

    I'd guess that the device you are using to put air in isn't getting seated on the valves stem properly or doesn't depress the Schrader valve properly so it opens. Maybe just try a different air chuck?
