The city perceived the Malek group to be more minority friendly because almost from the beginning of the process they had Colin Powell and others(I think Vernon Jordan as well) as part of their group. It was only a recent development that the Lerners added several minorities to their group. That's the main reason they wanted to see the Malek group win the bid.
