Well, that's because the camera is shooting at a high ISO (speed setting). When using a camera on auto, it isn't common for it to make a "best guess" on the lighting conditions. This can mean using the flash, or upping the ISO, or both. The higher the ISO is, the noisier/grainier the picture becomes.

In addition, it's important to know that a point and shoot flash is only designed for limited range - the portait/small group subjects - and can dissipate outside of about 10-15 feet.

You best bet in those low light conditions is to set your camera for the NIGHT TIME presets. This will lock your camera into the proper shutter speed/aperture settings and then, put the flash on full manual to fire every time.
