Why is iPhone distinguishing between my 11 digits phone numbers

I live in Nigeria where mobile numbers are 11 digits.
iPhone has an issue of not recognising phone numbers with contacts name.
Recently I noticed that it has no problem with those that appear with space - 1234 567 8900.

My issue is why some of the numbers appear without space when saved into phone book?

The solution I have proffered to some is to save the numbers with and without country code. This however leads to two different thread under messaging.

I have over 1000 contacts and this gives me issue with knowing who called or SMS on these distinguished numbers.

Can anyone advise in what I can do!
