Not all games can be shared. Have him check whether the other game is excluded.

Old Steam Family Sharing...

Can all Steam games be shared?

No, due to technical limitations, some Steam games and content may be unavailable for sharing. Games or content that matches the criteria below cannot be shared between accounts.
  • Games that require an additional third-party key, account, or a subscription in order to play
  • Free to play games and any purchased DLC for those games
  • Free DLC for a game
  • Games or DLC that is restricted in your or the borrower's region
  • Games the owner has a VAC or Game Ban in
  • Base games that the borrower already owns
  • Games that do not support the borrower's operating system
  • Games the owner has (automatically) from belonging to a Steamworks partner account

New Steam Families in beta...

Which games are currently eligible for Family Sharing?

As Steam Families is replacing the Steam Family Sharing feature, all developer set Family Sharing settings from the outgoing feature are being brought forward to Steam Families. So, if a game is currently eligible for Family Sharing, it will remain so in the new system unless the publisher chooses to opt-out later.

As with Steam Family Sharing previously, not all games can be shared due to technical limitations, some Steam games and content may be unavailable for sharing. Games or content that matches the criteria below cannot be shared between accounts.
  • Games that require an additional third-party key, account, or a subscription in order to play
  • Free to play games and any purchased DLC for those games
  • Games or DLC that is restricted in your or the other family member's region
  • Games that do not support the other family member's operating system
  • Games that the publisher has marked explicitly as unavailable for sharing
  • Games marked as private by the original owner
  • Games that are currently excluded from Family Sharing will continue to be
    excluded from sharing in Steam Families. This includes games that require an additional third party account or subscription.
