I suspect this is because the head element is floated to the left and
then you have an inline element within that.

Try adding a clearing element as below. Also, the margin should likely
be 18px or 1.5em as per the default BP settings.

HTH

<div class="container">
         <div class="head span-16">
                 <span class="logo">
                         <a href="/">Site Logo</a>
                 </span>
         </div>
       <div class="clear"></div>
 </div>
