Assalaamu alaikum.
The meaning about the not taking non-believers as friends, as what I was taught, was not to take them as friends OVER believers. If a choice has to be made then you should show your allegiance to the believers. This is of course only regarding matters where there is a difference between what Islam states and what the non-believer wants you to do/accept.
