One reason could be overloading the input to the amp.

The opamp output can only swing to the rails or close to it depending on the opamp.If your output signal is larger then your rail voltage you get clipping.See here.

Saturation of the amp? Over driving the input? incorrect amp type ? something wrong with the amp?
