Custom page template, not acting as page

Question

I have defined several page templates on my site http://178.21.128.82/. When I set my pages to use one of these page templates, wordpress seems to stop treating it as a page:

• It is not accepted in the is_page() conditional tag
• The body class "page" is not present (instead its showing "home").

Only when I use the default page template for my pages they are truly treated as a page by wordpress.

Anyone got a clue what´s going on?

Thanks!

Added:

query_posts('meta_key=wpfp_favorites&orderby=meta_value');

if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
    $start = get_post_meta($post->ID, '5Start', true);
    $stop = get_post_meta($post->ID, '6Slutt', true);

    if(is_active($start, $stop)) { 
        $offer = print_offer($post->ID, $start, $stop);
        echo $offer;
    }

endwhile;
endif;

Thought so...

You are using query_posts() and this nukes native page's loop and replaces all relevant data with your query. Since your query isn't for page - your page is no longer treated as such.

Always use get_posts() or new WP_Query object for secondary loops.

See When should you use WP_Query vs query_posts() vs get_posts()?
