We've seen this behavior when the footage is shot using two cards in the camera. When a shot spans the two cards Avid gets confused and will show you a picture in pause, but not play. The solution is to find the "start" mark in the shot (Avid shows it as a locator) and create an add edit at that point. This splits the shot into two at the point where that clip spanned the two cards. Both shots will then play fine.
