Discussion on: Should I report to my supervisor if 1 of my team mate is not doing his work? Or would that mean I'm not a good team member?

I think we need more details here. Is that team member not doing tasks assigned to them, or ones they could accomplish? Are they using the time not spent actively working in some other productive way? Are they simply slow, or are they taking a lot of breaks? Are they balancing out with overtime? Are they a junior developer?

This can be a motivational issue. It can also be a work-break balance thing. It can be laziness or they're keeping themselves free for urgent issues/pair programming.

What workflow are you using? This could also simply be a matter of setting personal targets and achieving them - perhaps a mismatch with the overall project targets.
