This is mostly speculation, but it seems that falling into depravity is a process. In SnB, Ja'far is mostly fallen when he's introduced but not quite there yet. Perhaps what makes Sinbad being half-fallen special is that he has absorbed the rukh of completely fallen people. It seems to affect his body in a similar way to curse magic, and he has to train to learn to balance the two types of rukh warring in his body. The thing that prevents him from falling completely seems to be his magoi manipulation training and I believe Focalor may have been stated at one point to be necessary to maintain the balance, but it's been a while.
