#2

Add facebook meta-tags in your page "head", and try again

<meta property="og:url" content="YOUR_STUFF" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="YOUR_STUFF" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:title" content="YOUR_STUFF" />
<meta property="og:description" content="YOUR_STUFF" />
<meta property="og:image" content="THE_IMAGE_TO_BE_SHOWN">

NOTE: facebook has some requirements in images, first make sure it is more than 200x200 in dimension

#3

If all the above didn't work, you will need to do some debugging

Go to this link ( facebook debugger) and past your site link, and check the errors, warning, and all the great information of how facebook sees your webiste

https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

Also check server logs

"HEAD /images/close-icon.png HTTP/1.1" 206 337 "-" "facebookexternalhit/1.1 (+http://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php)"

Note: HTTP 206 response code is ok, it is part of multiple partial downloads of the image
