Hi Shaun,
It sounds to me like you are talking about the third ball of the rally.
Often the return will come back wiht a bit of backspin or a little different spin because of your serve. If there is backspin you need to lift the ball with a bit more of a veritical action. You also need to be aware of the little bit of sidespin that will come back to you if you have done a sidespin serve. Next time just leave the return and see how the ball bounces. It will most likely not just go straight it may curve a little.
Start by using simple serves like straigth backspin or a flat serve and see if you can make the next topspin. Then if you get that progress to more complex serves.
