This is a known problem, most often occuring with models from Sketchup.
The colour or texture is applied to only one side of the front face, and SH3D can't decide which side to use. One time it uses the coloured/textured side, next time it uses the side without colour/texture.

You can avoid this problem by applying textures to both sides.
When exporting from Sketchup, make sure check the box of Export Two-sided Face. (Follow File --> Export --> 3D model --> Options )
