"the command make/select/camera raw"

When you work in Photoshop not all commands from menus are always available to use them, have you noticed that? For example, with single Shape layer selected in the Layers panel Edit > Fill, or Edit > Auto Align Layers, or Type > Warp Text are greyed out because you can not use them effectivelly. 

When you play action each step is independent from other steps, you can delete all other steps and play only step in the middle of action but... Each step has dependency like described above, if you want action to execute some particular command then that command must be available from menus with current document state. If you want to select layer named background then layer with that name must exist or you must have layer active/selected to apply Camera Raw Filter, it will display error message if none of layers is selected and action reached Camera Raw Filter step because without layer selected in the Layers panel Camera Raw filter is not available from the Filter menu.

Look at the step that failed and look at the document its failing on. Whats went  wrong  why did the step fail. What conditions is missing.  A layer name, A selection was not made etc,  Actions have dependencies they will not work on all documents.   Some action are poorly created and have many dependencies.   

These type of messages indicate that your image does not match the current step in the action.

It could be that a layer is explicitly named in the action, whereas your file does not have the current layer selected with the same explicit name.

It could be that a selection is required.

It would be helpful to insert a screenshot of the entire interface and action panel expanded with layers panel with the error message active so that the forum can diagnose the state of the document in context with the error.
