probably undercarbonated
Warm beer tends to foam more than cold beer. If your beer is a little undercarbonated it might seem flat when cold. About two weeks at room temperature should be long enough to complete carbonation. Did you add 1/2 to 3/4 cup corn sugar per 5 gallons when you bottled?
you could use more....
For a 5 gallon batch,you can safely use up to
one full cup of sugar for priming,I use this
amount consistantly,and have never had a bottle
explode on me in over twenty years.

Glass vs. Plastic
Have you noticed a difference between glass and plastic bottles?
