  Hello!

  Facebook displays whatever image it thinks represents the link the best.

  Some troubleshooting tips include:
  Making it a featured image
  and is:

  At least 200×200 pixels in both width and height
  Aspect ratio of width and height no greater than 3; in other words, the width can’t be more than three times more than the height, and vice versa. An image such as the garden image below is too disproportionate for Facebook to use (300 pixels wide by 90 pixels high).

  Please read these tips http://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/#images-in-publicize

  We have no control over the images that Facebook chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.
