for (var i =0 ; i<contacts.length ; i++){
    if (name === contacts[i]["firstName"] && contacts[i].hasOwnProperty(prop))
    {
        return contacts[i][prop];
    } else if (name !=contacts[i]["firstName"] ){
        return "No such contact";
    } else {
        return "No such property";
    }
}
// Only change code above this line
}

// Change these values to test your function
lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes");

lookUpProfile("Akira", "likes") runs ok, but I failed when testing other names.

As you have a chain of if/else if/else one of those will execute when i is 0 and the function returns something, and stop running so your code never arrives to check the other objects in the array (other contacts)
