Vim 7.4 introduced a hybrid mode that shows both relative number and the line number you're currently on. Now that either mode is non-exclusive I think you'll need to disable the current mode to toggle.

@brianbaligad is right. My current setup is:

set number
set relativenumber

augroup linenumbers
  autocmd!
  autocmd BufEnter *    :set relativenumber
  autocmd BufLeave *    :set number norelativenumber
  autocmd WinEnter *    :set relativenumber
  autocmd WinLeave *    :set number norelativenumber
  autocmd InsertEnter * :set number norelativenumber
  autocmd InsertLeave * :set relativenumber
  autocmd FocusLost *   :set number norelativenumber
  autocmd FocusGained * :set relativenumber
augroup END
