Where are you two located? I have noticed Google discriminates per location. For example creating a Gmail account from Canada isn't possible without a phone number, whereas creating one from Europe is.

It probably depends on IP address reputation. For me in Russia, Google always requires a phone number, but I saw reports by others that phone isn't required for them.
