You can access the raw contacts directly instead of the automatically-aggregated contacts - http://developer.android.com/reference/android/provider/ContactsContract.RawContacts.html.

Each account installed on the devices has it's own raw contacts. Note though that this means you get multiple raw-contacts for each actual contact.

Another thing to consider is that some accounts are private and their raw contacts are invisible to other apps. There's no way to reach those contacts without root. If I'm not mistaken that's the case with Facebook.
