You can also type the name of the responsible System Variable, CELTYPE [which stands for Current-Entity LineTYPE], and it will tell you what it is [presumably your different problem linetype], and give you the chance to tell it to go back to ByLayer.
 
But if it had been using one "wrong" linetype but then a different one, I suspect something is changing it for you, probably some specialty function(s) you're running, that should be changing it back but fail to do so.  Next time you notice it, investigate whatever non-native-AutoCAD function you used recently that involves any other-than-Bylayer linetype.  If it's an AutoLISP routine, it can be fixed to ensure that it sets the current linetype back to ByLayer, or if you prefer, to whatever it was [even if other than ByLayer] when the routine was started.

Sounds like somewhere it is being overridden probably on the Ribbon > Home tab > Properties panel.  Look at where it lists Linetype.  Instead of being set to 'ByLayer' it is probably set to a specific linetype.  Change it back to 'ByLayer'.

My linestyles are defaulting, firstly to "centre 2" and now to "dashed" despite the linetype being selected as "continuous"  in layer manager.
I am having to
  1. create the linework in the apptopriate layer
  2. select one of the lines
  3. change it's linestyle in "Properties"
  4. Use this line as the source in "Match Properties"
  5. Match the property to all the other linework in the layer
  6. Dead

Any help greatly appreciated

ThanX
