Having problems retrieving city name from Zip Code

Hi,
I'm trying to get city objects for dynamic zip codes (a person enters the zip code, and it retrieves the city/state), but am having difficulties as in 50% of the cases, mappoint doesn't find the city object.

In looping through Locations of a FindResults, it often does not find the geoShowByCity, only the geoShowByRegion1, and geoShowByRegion2. I figured it may not just be finding that specific spot, so I then do a FindNearby for 10 miles and loop through each of those if it doesn't find the city. And still, it often doesn't find the city. If you check the street address, however, the city is part of it.

Anyone have similar issues or suggestions? Much appreciated.

A good test example is 31095 (Warner Robins, GA)
