Well you already listed good examples of casual games with good background soundtracks. So play those games and pay attention to qualities of the music, such as the instruments used, tempo, volume compared to any other sounds in the game, notes/chords (major vs minor), and so on. Really pay attention to the subtleties that set the music apart from other background music; you might want to play other games where the music is distracting or the game is more action-oriented, and compare those qualities to see exactly what makes the social game music better for concentration and calmness.
Then apply these qualities that you have now noticed to your own music composition, or your search for background music, or convey the qualities to the person you are looking to hire to do your music.

Its simply how you make the player feel he/she's inside the game by just listening to the music. The composer should know how to deliver the music depending on the environment and situation the scene offers.
