Actually, this seems logical enough to me, and consistant with the limitations of the vampire healing process in other series. My guess is that she can't heal Asher because the process of his body being damaged and healing itself is over and done with. He has scars that don't change of his body's own accord.
When she raises a zombie, she's raising a body in the midst of decomposition. It's an active process that her blood can intervene in to mend the corpse's structure and appearance. But Asher's wounds have healed. He doesn't look as he did before he was tortured, but his body has mended itself to the greatest extent possible, so there's no longer an active process for her to get involved with.
