On Google Contacts, you can have contacts under "My Contacts" and
"Other Contacts".  Only "My Contacts" show up on the phone.  I suspect
you have two entries for them, one under each configuration, or
perhaps only in "Other Contacts" and the e-mail address is showing up
from another application providing it.

When you view their entry on the website, do you see a "Add To My
Contacts" option?
