its because commentor privacy settings. if user turn it off, you can't request the comments via API. when you do testing on facebook graph api:

postid/?fields=comments.summary(true)

you will see the debug info:

total_count represents the approximate number of nodes on the comments edge. The actual number of results returned might be different depending on privacy settings.

you can also refer to this related question: facebook graph api returns not all the comments
