I checked out the following combinations.
article
book
article+amsmath
book+amsmath
Here is the small test file
I used.   I changed filename.png to the name of my
graphics file.

\documentclass{article}

%\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{amsmath}

\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[htbp]

\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{filename.png}

\caption{figure caption}

\label{fig:tiger}

\end{figure}

results in figure 3 whereas,

 \begin{figure}[htbp]

\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{filename.png}

\label{fig:tiger}

\caption{figure caption}

\end{figure}

\end{document}
Can you send a small test file like
this which produces the effect you
claim, namely different postions of
the \label command leading to
different labels?
Best,
