Cheryl, thanks for setting me straight. I was mistakenly thinking that selecting Voice Call or FaceTime would initiate a call since I seem to be inadvertently initiating calls all the time with the Voice app. I should have realized that since I was in a screen to add a favorite, selecting one of those would do just that.
Your instructions worked perfectly and thanks again.

You actually only have three options. The first one you are hitting is actually a descriptor and isn't even a button. You need to choose to add it as voice call, facetime audio or facetime. What you say the choices are is slightly different than what I have so either you are mistaking facetime and facetime audio for the same thing or you are running a different iOS version. -- Cheryl Go beyond the Christmas story this year; meet Immanuel (God with us), Jesus, the crucified Savior, Christ, the risen Lord.

I am running iOS 6.1.4 and here are the steps I'm following without success: 1. Open the phone app. 2. Go to Favorites which is the first item on the left in the bar at the bottom. 3. Select Add which is available on the top-right of the screen. 4. Browse or search for the contact I want to add to my phone favorites. 5. Open that contact and select the applicable phone number to add. 6. I then get four options that appear and the first one is Add the contact name and phone number to favorites as: which is the one I execute. The other options are Voice Call, FaceTime, and Cancel. 7. When I select Add, nothing happens and the four buttons remain on the screen and nothing is added to favorites. I end up having to either select cancel or scrub to back out of the screen. Can someone direct me as to what I'm missing so I can add a phone favorite? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
