Your foe's facing has no bearing on it, and neither can he dodge it.

Absolutely. Notice for instance that the penalty to cast on an unmoving subject not in combat at all, or on yourself, gets no bonus at all.
Range and visibility (q.v. Blur) affect Thrown spell success, but facing certainly doesn't.
