You should create A Record for naked domain with wildcard simbol @

@    A RECORD    127.0.0.1 (depending on your server ip)
www  CNAME       example.com

More details about "how" you're trying to configure the A-records would be helpful (DNS application, web interface, etc.), but at its core, consider using the @ configuration for your naked domain A-record (example.com), instead of a <blank>.

Separately, consider using a CNAME or other redirect for www.example.com to example.com. Depending on your circumstances, putting some thought into these options may give you better results and/or performance. Check this page out for different redirection options and the implications.
