Denethor must have loved Faramir. He didn't want his son to suffer, so he burned him in hopes of him dying. They would have been together at death. The film should have shown that not all men are weak and greedy. The film's portrayal of him makes him less Numenorean. But anyway, I think that Faramir refused the Ring because he is a Numenorean in a sense. Most Numenoreans before Tar Atanatar probably wouldn't take the Ring. I think some people are born with the power to refuse it.
