After further look this morning at the APIs i managed to find the solution. Here you go:

// contactId is the ID of the person i need to add a new number to his contacts
// got the id through : ABRecordGetRecordID( ABRecordRef )
ABRecordRef person = ABAddressBookGetPersonWithRecordID(lAddressBook, contactID);
ABMutableMultiValueRef multiPhone = ABMultiValueCreateMutableCopy(lPhoneNumbers);
ABMultiValueAddValueAndLabel(multiPhone, number, (CFStringRef)@"Duplicate", NULL);      
//add the number to the contact
ABRecordSetValue(person, kABPersonPhoneProperty, multiPhone,nil);
ABAddressBookSave(lAddressBook, &error);
