This could be a problem, but not neccesarily
For example in a database with 29 sessions I have this
select lock_type,count(*) from dba_locks group by lock_type

LOCK_TYPE                  COUNT(*)
-------------------------- ---------------------------------------
Media Recovery             11
Redo Thread                1
Temp Segment               1
Transaction                5
XR                         1


As you see there are several type of locks
