Why Won't The Flash Go Off When I Want It To?

I am new to this camera and after playing around with it, I'm getting frustrated that the flash seems to have a mind of its own. Anytime I want to take a picture with flash, it starts flashing red on the display screen and I can't take a photo. I've tried all the different flash features and it doesn't matter what setting its on. Occasionally the flash will go off and there's no problem if i choose to turn the flash off.So what is going on? Is there a setting I can put this on that will help?
