light switch not working after newly installed kitchen light

while trying to install a new kitchen light which has 2 light bulbs I connected the black wires from the fixture to the black wires in the ceiling and the same for the white wires. The ground wire to the ground wire in the ceiling. Once i restored power from the power box the lights will automatically come on to the fixture but the wall switch is in an off position. what am I doing wrong. in the ceiling is a red wire not connected to anything

Your details are far too sketchy to do anything but make a wild guess. Can you say more? A lot more?
