Joss Whedon also has that problem, so if you're modeling your writing after his, I'm not surprised.

It might help if you write your story the way you usually do, but reread/revise it a few times before you send it to your beta. Each time you go through it, highlight one character's dialogue and just read that. Does this sound like Character X? If you can do this with all of your characters, you can keep the essence of your witty banter in place while giving each character their own voice.

If you're having trouble writing a specific character, write drabbles featuring just them and have your betas pick them apart. It's hard on the ego, but can be really useful in getting you out of that rut.
