Self fertile or cross pollination?

Could anyone tell me which are the self fertile cacti species and which ones need cross pollination? Is there a rule?
At the moment I have a Mammillaria Hahaiana and a Mammillaria Gracilis Snow Cap which are flowering. Can I cross pollinate them? I would like to see some fruits and not only flowers as usual

Thanks.

Tony posted a chart a while back that is pretty accurate. It is in another language but the F means self fertile and the S is self sterile. Here is the link http://www.cactiguide.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7212
