If the card had the number (written in the expected manner), it should
import it. Email program contacts databases hold more than just name
and address data. The whole point of things like vcard is to
facilitate automatic import/export of such data.
Well, FWIW, a contact sent from an Android phone via gmail gets imported just fine
including the phone number.
The problem seems to be T-Bird as it fails to recognize VCARD version 3.0 formatting.
Changing
TEL;type=WORK;type=VOICE;type=pref:(757) 605-1610
to
TEL;WORK;VOICE;pref:(757) 605-1610
and it works fine.
There's samples of vcard data in here:

I really wasn't going to read RFC's tonight.... But what the heck.
