Well it's a subtle, "ensure" is pretty much a gurantee and holds more weight; while "make sure," kind of leaves it open, and is more casual.
Here is an explanation of the difference between "ensure" and "insure" from merriam-webster:
"ENSURE, INSURE, and ASSURE are interchangeable in many contexts where they indicate the making certain or inevitable of an outcome, but ENSURE may imply a virtual guarantee <the government has ensured the safety of the refugees>, while INSURE sometimes stresses the taking of necessary measures beforehand <careful planning should insure the success of the party>"
