Placement of Input field for Lookup field is too low

Whenever I create an inputfield on a Visualforce page for a Lookup field, it is displays lower than other input fileds.  Here is some sample code --- in this example, the input field for Account appears lower thatn the field for lastname:

 

<apex:page standardController="Contact"  >
        <apex:form  >
        <apex:sectionHeader title="Contact">
        <apex:pageBlock >
            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"/>            
                <apex:commandButton action="{!cancel}" value="Cancel"/>
            </apex:pageBlockButtons >
            <apex:pageBlockSection >
                 <apex:inputField value="{!Contact.AccountID}"></apex:inputField>
                 <apex:inputField value="{!Contact.Lastname}"></apex:inputField>
             </apex:pageBlockSection>  
          </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:sectionHeader> 
     </apex:form>
</apex:page>
 What is wrong?

Made two simple changes.  Added Mode = Edit  and Columns = 2
 
Good luck 
 
Here is the updated code:
 
<apex:page standardController="Contact"  >
        <apex:form >
        <apex:sectionHeader title="Contact">
        <apex:pageBlock mode="edit">
            <apex:pageBlockButtons >
                <apex:commandButton action="{!save}" value="Save"/>            
                <apex:commandButton action="{!cancel}" value="Cancel"/>
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
            <apex:pageBlockSection columns="2">
                 <apex:inputField value="{!Contact.AccountID}"></apex:inputField>
                 <apex:inputField value="{!Contact.Lastname}"></apex:inputField>
             </apex:pageBlockSection>  
          </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:sectionHeader>
