The effective mass of a spring-mass system is not equal to the sum of the masses of the spring and the suspended mass. The kinetic energy of the spring is not equal to 1/2mv^2, so the frequency of oscillation cannot be determined by simply adding the two masses together. The effective mass of the spring must be defined in order to correctly predict the behavior of the system.
