The reason is hard to guess, because you don't provide enough
informations like the function code.

My guess:

You calls the function with a parameter, and the planner isn't able to
chose a fast plan because he doesn't know the parameter. That's why he
is choosen a seq-scan. You can rewrite your function to using dynamical
execute a string that contains your sql to force the planner search an
optimal plan for your actual parameter.

But yes, that's only a wild guess (and sorry about my english...)

Please, show us the table and the function-code.
