If you use a recipe that calls for baking soda, it needs a catalyst to activate it. A catalyst for baking soda is an acidic product like lemon juice. So, if you have baking soda in your recipe and it doesn't have either sour milk, lemon juice or some kind of acidic fruit in it, that could be a cause for it being flat.
