That's DRM in a nutshell for you...
If you check the site where she bought them chances are there are some
info about which format and copyright protection (if any) they use.

Did you try using mplayer?
$ mplayer -v AlHaaor_AitzikAsh_f.fl
chould perhaps give you some clues
Even if they are mp3's at the core, my guess is that they reside
inside of the fl container, which is DRM protected. In that case just
chopping off/replacing the header or other random bytes probably won't
do any good.
You could, of course, connect the headphone output from the phone to
the soundcard of the PC and record the signal.
It's also possible that you could play the file in Windows, using the
Windows Media Player which supports DRM.
