I assume you use it with the default Windows OS?
GTK+ (hence GIMP) supports tablet features (such as pressure
sensitivity) through Wintab drivers. After a small search, it appears
that there are Wintab drivers for the Surface Pro 4 but they are
optional (hence not installed by default, I guess). This page on
Microsoft website has the drivers for download:

I would suggest to try and install these, then try GIMP again.

Jehan
