Device manager is setup such that if it sees a mountable filesystem, it 
will offer to open it with the file manager (dolphin, konqueror, etc, 
whatever your default is configured as).  However, not all such devices 
appear as mountable filesystems -- that is, some of them are loaded with 
the kernel's mass storage driver (and thus have mountable filesystems), 
while others use a less standard scheme that the dedicated app (camera app 
for images, music app for music) understands, but that isn't exposed as a 
generally mountable filesystem using the kernel's mass storage driver.

I suspect that's what's happening in your case.  You could check the logs 
and see...
