When you change the face, as recommended by Mark, pick one of the faces that have been detected automatically by Photos, not a face you had to add manually. Then your selection will be more stable after a system upgrade or when you are syncing your Photos Library with iCloud Photos across devices. Manually added faces may occasionally vanish. Pick a photo as the key photo, where the face is large enough for the huge thumbnails and distinctive and you can easily recognise the face (for example, if you have albums of siblings that are looking similar).
