\textit{P. Ozsváth} and \textit{Z. Szabó} [Duke Math. J. 129, 39--61 (2005; Zbl 1083.57042)] associated to a contact structure an invariant with values in the Heegaard-Floer homology groups and proved that a version of the invariant with twisted coefficients is nontrivial for weakly symplectically fillable contact structures. The author shows that their nonvanishing result does not hold in general for the contact invariant with untwisted coefficients. From this fact it follows that the Heegaard-Floer theory can distinguish between weakly and strongly symplectically fillable contact structures.
