The sample SPARQL query that's generated shows the wrong author ID which is why the query doesn't return data for this author. I guess this is because of an author merge. There have been two author merges take place on this author record in Open Library so it looks like the OLID originally associated with this author now redirects to the author ID being used for the query (but with no matching ID in Wikidata, no data for the result).
