It may be that the caption contains commands that vary between LaTeX and 
LaTeX2HTML. For example:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{html}

\latexhtml{\newcommand{\sample}[1]{\textit{#1}}}{%
\newcommand{\sample}[1]{\texttt{#1}}}

\begin{document}
See Table~\ref{tab:sample}.

\begin{table}
\caption{A \sample{Sample} Table}\label{tab:sample}
\end{table}

\end{document}

The caption is written as "A \textit{Sample} Table" in the aux file 
which LaTeX2HTML translates to "A <I>Sample</I> Table". Whereas the 
caption in the document translates to "A <TT>Sample</TT> Table", so 
LaTeX2HTML can't match the caption in the document to the corresponding 
caption in the aux file, and thus can't determine the number. The 
problem can be fixed by placing \protect before the command to prevent 
expansion when LaTeX writes it to the aux file:

\caption{A \protect\sample{Sample} Table}

or by using the optional argument:

\caption[A Sample Table]{A \sample{Sample} Table}
