It sounds like you are having timing issues. You might try using Expected Conditions functionality (http://www.protractortest.org/#/api?view=ExpectedConditions). It even looks like their example fits what you need:

var EC = protractor.ExpectedConditions;
var button = $('#xyz');
var isClickable = EC.elementToBeClickable(button);

browser.get(URL);
browser.wait(isClickable, 5000); //wait for an element to become clickable
button.click();
