Contact keeps appearing and disappearing from iPhone

I've entered a contact to my "contacts" on the iPhone. Once I hit done the contact is saved but doesn't show in the contact list. A while later it shows up and then intermittently disappears. I have my iPhone synced with my iPad and for a while the contact showed on the iPad contacts but not the iPhone now it disappeared from both. Any idea what might cause it or how to correct?

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.3

When you say they disappear, do they reappear again? I'm wondering if this is happening as your contacts are syncing with the service you are syncing to, as in Yahoo Groups. I'm not sure how Yahoo Groups works, but if this is where you are saving them, I wonder if you get disconnected from the Yahoo server momentarily, they would disappear. This is the same way Exchange contacts are. If you get disconnected from the Exchange server, you cannot access contacts.
