It simply means the person who sent you the encrypted message didn't encrypt it using your public key. They have mistakenly used someone else's public key.
Because it's not encrypted with your public key, you won't have the matching private key on your keyring needed to decrypt the message (remember keys are generated in pairs, giving you a public and a private key which work in conjunction with each other). You'll need to contact the sender and ask them to send the message again (and provide them with a copy of your public key again just in case they don't have it).
