Look like the roles are reversed

Juz sayin but I detest PhakeBook and believe it is a damn poor medium for anything. "It seems like" you have to have a magical touch to get ahold of someone without being "friends" with them. I've had a shitload of trouble just trying to use it for marketpharce which I equally detest. I'm forced to go there because so many have abandoned C/L

I've tried to use it to contact a few friends I've "re" found to no avail.

So it may be possible they never saw your message.
