systemctl set-default works only once, then you have to manually delete the symlink in /etc/systemd/system/default.target

progandy@pamobile /tmp % sudo sc set-default graphical.target             :(
ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target' '/etc/systemd/system/default.target'
progandy@pamobile /etc/systemd/system % sudo sc set-default multi-user.target
Failed to set default target: File exists
1 progandy@pamobile /etc/systemd/system % sudo sc set-default graphical.target
progandy@pamobile /etc/systemd/system % sudo sc set-default multi-user.target
Failed to set default target: File exists
progandy@pamobile /etc/systemd/system % sudo rm default.target
progandy@pamobile /tmp % sudo sc set-default graphical.target             :(
ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/graphical.target' '/etc/systemd/system/default.target'

Hi,

Adding the "--force" switch will help you to work around this.

There is a patch at:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/systemd-devel/2014-April/018659.html

Thanks!
