It certainly could. Google sees the www. version as a 2nd website, so essentially you're splitting your 'ranking authority' between 2 webpages.
I echo Andy's response. There are services that look and see where an IP is located then call the images on your page from a server closest to that user to improve load times (which is a ranking factor).

+Really need more information
If you have URLs constructed dynamically depending on where the user navigates from this could also be an issue, but I would expect more than 2x the pages.
A good place to start is here if it has a physical location: http://www.google.com/mapmaker
From mapmaker you can close the business (it isn't immediate as they use crowd sourcing). You can also report the business as being closed through the maps listing.
If you do a search for the listing in question, in the list view (http://maps.google.com) you'll see an option that says 'more' with an arrow pointing down. Click that and hit 'report a problem'.
Hope it helps.
