Overwrite the default opacity of that modal:

.modal-backdrop, 
.modal-backdrop.fade.in{
opacity: 1;
filter: alpha(opacity=100);
background: #fff;
}

If the above is not working then try with !important keyword:

.modal-backdrop, 
.modal-backdrop.fade.in{
opacity: 1 !important;
filter: alpha(opacity=100) !important;
background: #fff;
}
