Did you at some point change your Apple ID? This would indicate the app was downloaded under a different ID than your current ID. If this is correct, Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID they were downloaded under. Either you'll have to sign out of your Apple ID and back into the previous ID to update the app, OR delete the app and buy the app under your new ID.
