If it's just the one door it sounds like a solenoid.  Maybe just needs the door panel off and lubricating.  :y

Exactly the same happened to mine .... drivers door wouldnt lock or unlock using fob but was fine with key .... Vx replaced the door motor at a cost of £135 ... luckily it was covered by my warranty  ;)

Exact same has happened on mine.  It started as an intermittent fault but doesn't move at all any more.  Think the motor or solenoid needs replaced.  

You can lubricate the solenoid and it will help for a while.  It's the black plastic part with a white top which is connected to the locking rod.  Slip back the rubber gator and lift the rod up and down while spraying in a lubricant.
