Can someone give me some explanation why one of my files had this problem and all other seems ok?

Assuming all of the clips were shot in the same format this could imply a corrupted file. Now this could have been a one-off but it is also possible that there is a problem with the memory card.

At this stage I'd format the card using your camera, keep shooting and see if the problem persists.

Why would renaming the extension solve the problem?

Software can use the extension to tell it what it's looking at. It might be expecting MP4 to be in a certain variant while MTS (That's a Sony file type isn't it?) is expected to be a different one.
