Take a look at path selection policy configured for this LUN (seems like you're using the Fixed) and if your storage supports Round Robin policy, try change to Round Robin and you will see both paths with Active (I/O) status.

If you're using vSphere 5.1/5.5 this should already be configured with Round Robin based on KB: VMware KB: Load balancing using Round Robin multipathing policy on EMC VNX arrays

But if this is not true, just change to Round Robin.
