Probably a faulty sensor.
The wall control won't override the "obstruction" sensor. That's the little beam of light near the floor from one edge of the door to the other. This is to prevent people from getting crushed by a closing garage door.

If the red light is blinking, there's an obstruction in the way or else someone has knocked one of the beams out of alignment.
