I'm guessing these could be old format Vorbis files, from back in the 
Beta days.
However, I haven't found Winamp to be choosy at all about such files.
Which version of Winamp are you using?

You could also look at finding a plugin for the player of your choice, that
handles vorbis files better than you're experiencing now.

If the files are actually damaged, I've no idea how to fix them. If it's 
absolutely
imperative to play them soon (ie. you don't have time to locate the problem)
you could re-encode the non-working to Vorbis again (with a newer encoder).
Beware, however, that you will most certainly loose quality this way.
(A better option might be to just decode them with a less choosy 
program, into
uncompressed .wav files, if you just need them for a short while, and 
have the
space to spare.)
