This is because the ng-repeat create a new child scope for each li element, thus every li element will has its own radioBox value in its own scope.

For more detail, read Understanding-Scopes.

You could avoid this problem by having a . in your ng-model, for example using model.radioBox like this:

<li class="animate-repeat" ng-repeat="friend in friends" ng-class="{true:'hightlight',false:''}[model.radioBox==friend.name]">
  <input type="radio" name="friends" ng-model="model.radioBox" value="{{friend.name}}" />
</li>

And in your controller, initialize the model beforehand:

$scope.model = {
  radioBox: undefined
};

If the expression evaluates to an object, then for each key-value pair of the object with a truthy value the corresponding key is used as a class name.

ng-class="{'highlight':radioBox==friend.name}"
