Your derailleur might be out of whack, probable needs adjusting.

This problem is most often due to shift cable stretch or otherwise misaligned rear derailleur. Try adjusting the cable tension at the rear derailleur barrel adjustor. See http://www.parktool.com for instructions. Or it could be a bent derailleur hanger.
