This doesn't make sense since you're moving yourself closer to the background by shooting at a wider focal length. Step back further, shoot at 55mm (f/5.6 on the kit lens) and create more distance from the background.
You can still get a decent amount of blur at f/5.6, you just need more distance from the background.
