You didn't say much about how you exactly do it.
May be it is interesting for you, there is a bug in JIRA probably around your issue:

and here there is a discussion about it:

Anyway, delete-orphan will delete a child, if you explicitly remove it from the collection. Look at this exampe:
Code:
Parent parent = session.load(Parent.class, parentId);
parent.getChildren().remove(child1); // the child1 will be deleted
or
parent.getChildren().clear(); // all children of parent will be deleted
