There are several possible reasons for this:
First, how did you issue the grep command? If it was "grep -i", then you switched on case INsensitivity, which is not so easily done in vi (certainly not with a command switch). Make sure you really search for the same string in both cases.
Second, The file might contain some (terminal-) control codes, which are "interpreted away" when you pipe it through cat.
Have a look at the unaltered file with "od -ax" to get even the non-displayable characters.
I hopoe this helps.
