Free weights affect a far greater range of motions and require additional control, which is why they are "harder" than machines. When you machine bench, every rep is exactly the same and while you do benefit, the gains are artificially centered on that specific motion rather than the natural improvement of the muscle.
Try doing more exercises with dumbbells or the bar. Regular bench press, flies, curls on a preacher seat, standing curls, kettle bells, pull ups, push ups, etc. It sounds like you already go to a gym, just ask for suggestions or just take a look at the freeweight people.
