PostgreSQL – Fixing pgpool Load Balancing Sending All Queries to Master

My two postgresql servers are configured for streaming replication, which is working fine.

Pgpool is configured for Master Slave mode / Load Balance Mode.

pgpool.conf:

listen_addresses = '*'
port = 9999
backend_hostname0 = 'master-postgres-ip'
backend_port0 = port-no
backend_weight0 = 1
backend_data_directory0 = 'data-dir'
backend_hostname1 = 'slave-postgres-ip'
backend_port1 = port-no
backend_weight1 = 1
backend_data_directory1 = 'data-dir'
load_balance_mode = on
master_slave_mode = on
master_slave_sub_mode='stream'

I expected all write queries will go to primary and read queries will be distributed between two. But, all the queries are going only to master. However, if I stop master, queries are going to slave.

Can somebody tell me what might be going wrong?

pgpool gives below log on startup:
