It is because Facebook/Messenger use VOIP to call instead of any app level protocols that are blocked by DND. The same is true on Android where you see the complaints about Facebook/Messenger on the Android Support forum bypassing DND. The solution, no matter what platform you are using, is to go into your Facebook/Messenger settings and turn on DND there so no call is made. The other solution is to not use the Facebook/Messenger service at all.
