That I think is a Fullbringer thing. Fullbringers are able to interact with highly valued objects, and the novels insinuate that includes people as well. So, if you perscribe to the novels, that would explain it. Orihime's intense attraction to Ichigo causes her to be able to locate him, and since the Fullbringer powers are soul-based rather than reiatsu-based, a barrier can't stop the effect.
