Why does that happen?
Because google is "seeing" two different websites. This is supposedly a bad thing in terms of a duplicate penalty from google.

Make sure that ALL incoming links point to one version of your site...either the www or the non-www. This is very important, otherwise you're "sharing" your PR between the two versions of your site...thus halving your effective PR per version. Make sense?

You can add something to your .htaccess to correct this with a 301 from one version of your site to the other. Probably a good idea to do.
