This is the problem that 90% of non-swimmers have. Watch people swim underwater and you'll see the huge difference--even among lap-swimmers.
A good drill is to kick only (head down) while thinking of pressing down on your chest--this will automatically raise your hips. As a checkpoint, you should feel the air on your butt and just the back portion of your head. Stop and look up when you need to breathe, then resume it. You should have the feel of swimming "downhill".
