Brakelight works when I apply the brake but doesn't stay on at night

Does anyone know what would cause this?
My brakelight will go on when I apply the brake but it doesn't stay on at night for visibility like it normally does.

The rear light is a dual filament bulb. One filament is for the taillight that is on with the headlight and the other is the brake light.

Change the bulb.
I can't seem to win the lottery. I think I have used up all of my good luck riding motorcycles.
