Why not be the positive influence on the other girl that you think she needs? Have her over for sleepovers, dinner, movie night, game night, whatever. Have other girls there, too, that your daughter is friends with. Help build a social network for her. And just keep an eye on your daughter to see if she starts showing negative influences from the other girl. It might not work, but you can at least try it for a few weeks or months.
You probably shouldn't dictate who your daughter is friends with, unless there is a serious problem that demands immediate action (like drug use, abuse, or criminal activity). This doesn't sound like that.
