Not able to click on the submit multiple times

In a specific scenario, user needs to hit the submit button multiple times in order to get into a specific state. While I am able to perform the submit action for the first time, while doing it for the second time doesn't work.

E.g

    public Button getContinueButton() throws Exception {
    return new Button(browser, Login.CONTINUE_BUTTON);
    }

  getContinueButton().click(); //First click works
  getContinueButton().click(); //This never gets executed 

The HTML looks like this: <button name="button" type="submit" class="button green">Continue</button>

And on a submit failure it looks like this: <button name="button" type="submit" disabled ="disabled" class="button green">Continue</button>

Tried even:

 public Button getContinueButton() throws Exception {
    WebElement webElement = new WaitElement(browser, 
    Login.CONTINUE_BUTTON).waitForElementToBeClickable();
    return new Button(browser, Login.CONTINUE_BUTTON);
}

The above doesn't work.
