It seems that plot_surface method does have some issue with NaNs.
I think it is best if you manually adjust the color range. For example,

vmin = np.nanmin(mass)
vmax = np.nanmax(mass)

ax.plot_surface(X, Y, mass, rstride=1, cstride=1, cmap=cm.jet,
                      vmin=vmin, vmax=vmax)

IHTH,
