The Facebook news stream only shows you posts from people you are most active with. If they “like” or “comment” on one or more of your posts, and you do so in return, chances are you will have higher probability of seeing a status update from them.
So what are things
you can do to see updates from people you haven’t connected to in a while?
(1)
Categorize your Friends and Fan Pages
(a) Select your friends list from your profile
page
(b) Move your cursor over the Friends box next to their name
(c) A drop down box will pop up allowing you to select a category for that friend or "Add to another list"
(d) Create as many "lists" as you prefer, your connections will not be able to see the titles ot the categories you have organized them under. As updates happen, you will see a number next to the "list" letting you know there is a new update.

Mark your closest Friends & Family as “Close”
for notifications once they post an update.
They will be marked with a “gold” star next to the word “friends” and
their updates will show up in notifications.
This is similar to subscribing to their updates.
(3)
Visit your friends & Fan Pages and find a post
to “Like” or “Comment” to start seeing their updates
How will you see
updates?
The updates on Friends or Fan Pages will either begin to
show up on your news feed or you can simply scroll down the left side of the
page to view updates from your “Categories”
What if I only want
to see certain kinds of updates from friends?
Some people just aren’t fans of the games or
applications. Other people prefer
pictures, videos or ALL updates. You can
go to your friends page and you can specifically select the types of updates
you actually see.
(1)
Go to your friends profile page
(2)
Select the “Friends” button and select the
options in the drop down menu you would like to see updates about them under
Settings
Play with the many
features Facebook has to offer you for organizing and keeping up with your
connections & pages!

I'm also having problems and it seems to only affect my closest friends. I can't even see any of their posts when i go to their wall! Talked with one of the friends and they can't see why. Can't understand it one bit and it's really starting to bum me out!
