I'm pretty sure you need the Facebook ID for the profile. Here is how I do it in one of my apps.

NSURL *facebookURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"fb://profile/114276365276090"];

NSURL *safariURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://facebook.com/kyfarmbureau"];

if ([[UIApplication sharedApplication] canOpenURL:facebookURL])
         {
             [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:facebookURL];
         }
         else
         {
             [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:safariURL];
         }
