This is can be one of 2 thigns.

As long as the DNS Zone file is set up properly, your website should work with and without the www. If you didn't do anything with regards to DNS, then ask your web host to set this up for you. If you're the one that did the DNS, then just add an additional A record that points to your websites IP address. The www is most likely a CNAME that points to the domain name or as an A record that points to the IP address.

As long as the DNS is set up properly, then it could be a configuration issue with the web server. For an Apache server, you just need to add an Alias for domain.com. I'm not familiar with other web servers, so I can't help with them. But the concept should be the same.
