This is something that you would need to ask Facebook support, but I suspect it has to do with how Facebook process the page and the type of images on that page.

For example the image in your post is a local image and uses a local path from this page to the image, whereas the other page may use a full URL to the image.

It also depends on how you share the link.

If you use the 'Like' button you can configure this to include an image, on this forum we have configured it to include a Web Wiz Forums logo which is shown on your wall.

If you use the share link to post the page to your wall you can not set the image and Facebook is not able to know which image to pull from the page and so just includes a link with some text from the page.

Facebook would not show the images within the page, all you can do is configure the 'Like' button to show a logo in Facebook, it would not capture the image from the page itself.
