I noticed today that a lot of sites that I'm supposedly "linked" to are just a listing of our URL without the actual ability to click on it and go to our site. Do the search engines place emphasis on one over the other or does just the listing even really count as a link at all?

Search engines put much more emphasis on having an actual clickable link. Google thinks of these as "votes" for the popularity or importance of a page.
If you are exchanging links with someone and they give you a non-clickable link you are being abused.
Looking around webmasterworld you will discover many other ways people can play dirty.
