Should I ask the opposing counsel to respect the agreement as my attorney is not?

I signed a settlement agreement with the respondent in an employment case. According to the agreement respondent would issue one check to me and one check to my attorney for cost and his legal fees. His check is for 40% of the settlement plus his cost. However, my attorney sent me an e-mail stating that he would intend to receive full settlement amount including my share via wire transfer from respondent into his firms's account. I believe it is breach of agreement. I have told the attorney I would like to have my separate check as agreed in the settlement agreement. Attorney is not responding. Should I contact respondent directly to enforce the agreement??? The check issued to me would be for back wages.
