If a text field is the first responder, it will automatically pop up the keyboard when the alert is dismissed. Ensure the first responder is properly dismissed with:

[textField resignFirstResponder]

Remember: in a table or scroll view, sometimes the field must be visible on the screen to properly dismiss the responder.

If there are no first responders active, keyboard should not appear when alert is dismissed.

For the particular case in this question, I would recommend setting a delegate method to listen for the "done" button and resigning the first responder in the delegate callback.

Alternatively, when beginning editing, you can store a reference to the currently active text field, then in your "clickedButtonAtIndex" method you can resign the active text field if it is still active.
