When someone mentions that you are a 'down to earth' person - you are being complimented, about being a very realistic and honest person, with no bloated, or false, illusions about yourself or your capabilities.
But, if someone tells you that you 'should come down to earth', you are being criticised for having a very unrealistic and highly exaggerated opinion about yourself - and being admonished that you had better learn to face life more realistically !

It means that you're real. You don't act like you're part of a pipe dream. You're not high and uptight, you are able to get on other people's level because you are real. Not like the fake people always trying to act like something your not. I don't think I can ellaborate on this anymore, hope that helps ;-).
