Some people don't send their keys to keyservers out of preference.
Some people use subkeys and other bits that some keyservers can't handle.

Either way, the keyserver reports no key data found.

If you do want the key, sometimes people who have experienced problems with 
their own keys on keyservers add details of their keys to their ordinary text 
signature (keyid, website location, etc.) for manual import into your own 
rings.

In previous cases, I've just emailed the person concerned asking if they could 
let me know the location of a website or name of a keyserver that holds their 
key data.

Once imported, you won't have any further delays on that key.
