Facebook widget working for some url but not for others

Take a look at this fiddle: JsFiddle

As you can see I have put up the facebook like box with url http://facebook.com/ElizaDoolittle

The problem is that it doesnt work with all urls, try replacing the url with this url: http://www.facebook.com/fatme.safa.3?ref=fs

you will see an error notification. Why is that?? What makes the difference in url?

That is the address of a Facebook page for a musician.

That is the address of a user profile.

Because only pages can be liked, user profiles can not be liked. And since, the Like box also does not work for user profiles.
