If you've tried to explain it and they won't listen then there's nothing else you can do. If you want to maintain the friendship you just have to accept them as they are. People don't like their "flaws" being pointed out to them. If they ever come to you for advice, or ask why you think something happened then you might try pointing it out again but generally people don't want their shortcomings pointed out to them.
