Try long pressing the icon, a popup box should appear with some options, one lets you remove icons.
 
Try going into the Playstore and uninstalling the application from there. Should be in your "My Apps" section.

Some apps come preinstalled onto your device by your carrier and cannot be uninstalled.

To get rid of them go into Settings > Apps > Choose the app in question and "Turn Off" the app. It will no longer appear in the App Tray or be usable on your device. Just make sure the app you are disabling isn't a core function on the device.
