I believe that it was many things that killed the Witch King.
1. I think that the main thing that really hurt him and perhaps the most important thing was the will of both of them. Merry had a great will power because of Theoden dying. Eowyn had great will power because she wanted to prove herself on the battle field and because Theoden died.
2. Hobbit and female. If we are to take what he said literally Eowyn would be able to hurt him. Merry definitely would have because he was not a man at all.
3. Merry's sword, it was made to take care of these things. I am guessing it was supposed to be used by a person that could have dealt a death blow but hey it did its job. It delivered a wound to him that I think broke his will and allowed Eowyn to finish the job.

I think it is the will that makes the difference here. I mean everything seems to be done by a force of will. When Merry thrusted his knife into the Nazgul the Witch King's will was broken. I don't know about the rest of you but I think the will is the most important thing and gives power to everything. Sort of like the green lanterns having to use will power to use their rings I guess.
