This rings a bell as some sort of a bug, but I don't remember the exact details right now. I can recommend one method which *might* fix it.

(name of UI elements may not be exact, my phone is in Norwegian)

Open contacts, tap the menu (bottom right), tap 'merge contacts'. It should open a sheet picker with 'Cancel' and 'Merge' buttons at the top. At the bottom of that sheet, there's another button for me titled 'Oppdater' (Update) - press that. It should have a try at merging together duplicates that it finds in your addressbook.

If that doesn't work, I'd recommend finding the other places that number crops up in your addressbook and trying to neuter it.
