When I go to messages > new message, I don't get a person icon just a field to type. I am on version 2.2, you could be on a different version.

is it the same contacts/numbers for each one, or is it showing all the numbers/emails for each contact? If it's showing them each multiple times, are you synching facebook? do they show that way in your contacts? If it's the latter of the 2, i'm not sure if there's an option in your messaging app, but if there's an option only to show mobile numbers or something, you'd maybe try it. I am on cm6, so it sounds like you're on something a bit different. Just throwing out some things i'd sort of suspect as a general sort of place to start.

If you are using Handcent there is an option to only see your phone contacts and not your Facebook contacts, I was having the same issue you describe not too long ago and I changed the setting and it fixed it, in Handcent go under Setting<Social Network Settings and uncheck show social contacts.
