cannot round corners on a live shape??

Question

I drew a shape using the rectangle tool-drawing multiple rectangles and placing them on top of each other- then used the pathfinder > unite option to combine the shapes into one single shape.

Then, I went in to round the corners by selecting portions of the shape with the direct selection tool. It worked for most of the shape but on the last section I absolutely cannot get rounded corners.

Here is a screenshot of the shape. You will see I have successfully rounded most of the other corners but that last section will not even show the live corner widget when I select the anchor points with the direct selection tool. Please tell me why this is happening and how to fix it.

When I do that this is what happens. Does that mean that there are points on top of each other? and if so how does that happen?

If the points are really on top of each other, you can try this:

Select the object (in your case the white shape).

Choose Object > Live Paint > Make

Choose Object > Live Paint > Expand

Select View > show Corner Widgets.Maybe Direct Select a part of the object. This looks like the entire object is selected.
