I thought that was because the female had been enchanted, whereas the male had not (he was brought there simply because the Fairy liked having him around).
I could be wrong though, and whether it was pulled off well or not is a matter of reader preference. It worked well for me, but obviously not for every reader.
You could well be right, although I thought they were both enchanted. The overall impression I got was one of general uselessness, though. A shame, as in many ways it's a marvellous book. I loved it, don't get me wrong!
