Answer 1

I've noticed this happen on my sites before too. There's usually a missing or incorrect open graph tag that's required. It's really strange how it works anyway on some pages but not others. I highly recommend using the debugger tool too. It points out what is wrong.

Answer 2

Ah, I've got it working with a few resources.

First, I used Facebook's Debugger to check my open graph tags and make sure they were valid. I noticed that my Like button required an admin ID. Also, on the Debugger page you can actually demo your Like button and it will display an error message if necessary.

I received the message:

"The page failed to provide a valid list of administrators. It needs to specify the administrators using either a "fb:app_id" meta tag, or using a "fb:admins" meta tag to specify a comma-delimited list of Facebook users."

What I noticed was that I had my fb:admins tag mixed up with og:admins. I switched the letters up and all was fixed!

However, I'm still not sure why a few of my pages allowed the Like button to work prior to the fix.
