No Play a Sound button in Find My iPhone

When I try to use "Find My iPhone," the "People" I have listed do not have a "Play a Sound" button with their names. I can see where they are; however, I can play a sound on their phone. Also, it only has their email listed and not their phone number, even though I invited them via text message. How do I get the "Play a Sound" button?

See Locate a friend in Find My on iPhone - Apple Support. I don't see anything that suggests you should be able to Play a sound on a friend's device. I would imagine find friends is based on Apple ID, and hence email address, rather than phone number, regardless of the invitation method.
