Why does this F sharp suspended 4 not sound major or minor?

Both pictures are F sharp, B, and C sharp. There is no A sharp and no A, so this is not F sharp major and not F sharp minor. B is the extra note (a 4th). Both pictures use a barre. The first picture bars fret 2 on all six strings. The second picture mutes the thick string and bars fret 4. Same three notes. The second shape is higher.

If the F sharp suspended 4 in a song sounds higher than the first picture, try the second picture lower on this page.

On the first picture the B is on the G string, fret 4, pinky. Play F sharp major after this and you will hear A sharp instead of B. Play F sharp minor and you will hear A instead of B.
