The Frenchman played three seasons alongside Messi and explained it was the four-time Ballon d'Or winner who his teammates looked for when games were tricky.
"We had incredible players in that team and whenever you didn't know what to do, you always looked for Messi," he told Barcelona's official website.
"I think it would be madness if he doesn't win the Ballon d'Or.
"He deserves it because the team won another treble. But what I don't understand is why Suarez isn't there."
Henry also insisted that Messi's statistics are incredible, and were unheard of before the Argentine arrived on the scene.
"All we can do is enjoy what he does," he added.
"Because what he's doing is not normal... We used to say that a player who got 23-25 goals in a season was an incredible striker.
"But Messi does that in three months."
