I'm not sure I understand, but if I do, you could have one or two different
problems.  One, check the obvious:  do you have an [Advance] code in your
entry?  Second, if your bibliography is tied to your paper footnote-wise,
check for positioning codes in the footnote.  I have had problems where
people included formatting codes in the [Mark ToC] entry, and the formatting
is applied to the entry in the Table of Contents. 

Now, I might have completely misunderstood, in which case all of this is
irrelevant...
