Help when taken night pictures?

red is probably due to the orange street light producing whats known as "light pollution" which turns the sky a weird orange colour. for successful nights shots try and search for white lights, or change your white balance to compensate for the red/orange glow.
this is just the basics but obivously use a tripod for slow shutter speeds and im sure some others on here will give you more info

an example would help
but off the cuff it sounds like light pollution
post an example for an expert reply

I think you need to play with the white balance to cool it off a bit.

Light pollution is one problem (the street light on the left is a tell tale sign).
Looking at the exif data, you used auto WB.
Don't bother with auto WB and if you shoot in RAW, you can play around with the WB in software.
It also looks like you took the photo hand held and a tripod is must for night photography.

no point in using flash for a shot like that - the flash doesn't have the range to make any difference - shoot RAW and adjust the WB afterwards - at the moment you have mixed light sources - flash in the f/ground and sodium lights in the b/ground so anything you do will be a compromise.
