There are a couple of possibilities here. The first (and easiest) would be that you just need to make the edges of the big face hard. (Select edges, edit polygons>normals>soften/harden option box> all hard>apply)

Another possibility is that you have faces inside the main body of the structure. Go to wireframe mode and show the faces. see if there's a dot floating on the inside of the model

Hope this helps!
