Well if the sphere doesn't actually touch the wall then you'll have to compute 
the distance to all buildings etc. (that is do collision detection all over 
yourself) in order to compare it to the threshold. If on the other hand you 
make sure that the sphere sticks to the wall once it hits it (bounce = 0) 
then all you have to do is add the force if there is a contact.

Jon Watte also made a couple of interesting observations.
