If what you mean is "will not move to the *foreground*", then insert an
"activate" call before "display dialog". This is, assuming your script is
actually an applet.

If your script is running from within an application, then bring the
application to the foreground by "tell the_said_application to activate".

If what you mean is really to bring the display dialog to the background,
then bring another application to the foreground ...
