Default why would a sitemap listing show up before actual page in SERPS

One of my sites that I managed had some sitemap problems, it was displaying the text rather than then links to the pages. And now it appears that for one of the keywords that my client was targetting it lists the sitemap and not the actual page. Any idea why google would link to the sitemap before the relevant page ?

in my robots.txt I have the sitemap listed as
Sitemap: http://www.mysite.ie/sitemap.xml.gz

but is is showing up for the non zipped version
http://www.mysite.ie/sitemap.xml
